When I closed my eyes in Noni's field
We were lying on our backs.
I dreamt that the ground split a seam,
Our spirits, floating.
When no longer tied into our bodies,
We left them wrapping as a sign,
to slip into the crack.
Tired and ready to go.
But I don't know what goes on.
I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.
They had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
I could never put my hands back to them.
Still, I don t know what goes on.
Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind
Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?
Oh Oh Oh Oh
We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
An accidental constellation.
You, how will you go?
Out through your mouth in a sigh?
Into a space we don't know.
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
