after fall

It's rich irony then that I feel like a ghost
alive, haunting every hang of time 
asking, if is this all there is
the bruise of the moment
the body sinking down
anchoring absolutely
nothing but me

this is a story I actually don't want to tell 
I'd rather retract into porous sleep 
or silence--providently waiting 
just past the gate the miracle
or watching and loving 
all I ever had to do
was show up

so woke

I was cautiously optimistic and am now (way past midnight) heartened by the American decency that is showing up at the polls. All the report...
