torque

there's a hard spin

in marina's writing

that torque's a moment

into a more

universal expansion

to describe at once

the instant

of knowing -

at its birth.

and at its death.

an expression of

the fullness of now.

you overshadow the sun in the sky,

in your hands, you hold the stars!

and wind-like, - i would like

to push your doors ajar,

and babble before you, and riot,

and lower my eyes by your side,

and weeping, suddenly, go quiet

as a forgiven child might.
