Two Hour Flight

Because until recently, species-wise,
only the shamans
who could throw their bodies
into intrepid night-flying passerines
could have a view like mine,

I feel an obligation — wonder doesn't want me,
just the boring beau of fact —
to stop turning through my flashcards
of never-be-my loves and fail-sure plans

and let my forehead meet the moon.

Full. Orange. Fast as me. I see

it is licking gleams in the dark hills.

Are you there feather smeared sages,
beating drums to enter my eyes?
See the two stranded necklace
collaring the unbuilt.
