look not everything

is going to pan out. just because
the pieces look like they fit
doesn't mean time's warp has left them
unscarred. some people don't
want to move toward the light
or see ultraviolet where you see
white. shy away. laugh it off, festive.

temperate geometry
the way the feather's snuggle
becomes undemanding flesh.

we could all use a little rest.
time will build a half moon
in daytime sky. you can fit
the key into the lock
at anytime. the requirement
is observation and trajectory
as long the right door
has come along. go
on. try this one too.
