just a little.
To be near the end of the day and watch sun meet Earth
splendor shine
array of color
within this little planet divine we make
I write just a little
to push my mind to make
something just a little something
I will not take it to my bed
or wake with this thought in my head
and so I write it here and now
before the thought
evaporates
an unwatered seed
nothing
not even a memory
these thoughts when they are conceived must be born
the letters forever torn from the uterus of my mind
so that it might walk and be alive
just a little while
maybe longer
if I’m lucky.
