I Would Rather Be Out of Doors

watch the day break

determine now to fill it up

make it spill over

into the night,

the Moon's turn

i dont want there to be

any waste

i just want to go

from branch to branch

with purpose

meaning

i want to feel

every crystalline drop

cool and bracing

leaving

no chirp  unnoticed

no leap unappreaciated

no breeze unenjoyed

i remember spinning
arms out
swirling the world around me
falling to the ground
 it was prayer
though i didnt know it

lying down in the grass

warmth of earth at back

chill of spring on neck

baptism

letting it wash over

the dirt an annointing

under the nails
