like you, I had plans, my intentions
so nothing could go wrong
it's too easy to fall apart
at the sight of crushed birds and doe
on the sides of the highway
I free fall
while the others fall
into the hands of the lord
to reach a place so far removed
that I'm not bothered by it anymore
we sleep deep
and have no dreams
rest our heads upon the backs of geese
and other lesser creatures
maybe we never made it home…
instead, lay back silently as leaves
upon the glistening lawns
so alike, so symmetrical
like eggs that never wake
or like graves
the sky is a wishing well
scattered coins
I'm wishing now, now, now
when I close my eyes I see
clockwise arches and blizzard wings
when I close my eyes I see geese,
lesser creatures
flying
