Photo taken by me, after a spring snow

I tell myself I know

I tell myself I know
Sky shines thru trees focused on
Point of focus shatters, corners draw up
These trees look the same as every time
Eyelids slide down, my geometry, sacred
I tell myself I know
Face in face to face we sit together close
Our short lives in our pupils fusing together
Detail sharp and deep as it could go
Almost to the breaking point but not quite
I tell myself I know
Release muscles and lie back into grass
Ants crawl endlessly into holes in the skin
Feeling now, here, one with all other things
Memories slip. brief glimpses of the whole
I tell myself I know

I tell myself I know
