220. That Night (Myshkin, 2021) · free verse
That night, my tent, your land
Pollinating presence,
Energy is everything,
Life pouring from me into you,
“Oh shit” is right.
The other shore is near,
And also far,
We have walked so long to get here.
Why now? Why not now? When else?
A smile here and there,
A gray heart emoji.
What is this?
Let’s not talk about it.
The night is almost over.
