Enlightenment with a Capital E - May 4, 2021

call me after you wake up

for the last time

say nothing till I arrive

I don’t want to miss those first word

choices or the paint stroke of your eyes

brushing a fresh world color

and you so utterly present

no longer rushing to stay in a moment

or slowing down to wait for one

this here-and-now heaven

you’ve found in the books

I still read

in the hope I still hide
