I Know
 
about utility and aesthetics
from being useless and ugly
hoping use will wear corners
turn corners

must be the moon or the coffee
old words haunt me
old worlds hang on
the lines i feel a travel coming on

hurricane in the peacable kingdom
when the words are the museum of our lives
and our lives are the museum of God's love
the wind blowing up
our skirts and our minds
powered by the dream
the sunlight
crashing on the shore
