to wake to know nothing




to wake to know nothing
leaves me in bed a trifle
longer than expected

epiphany startles
the dreamer in mauvy prints
softest of imprinting

beginning in the womb-
this need to know, until it
turns on its face:

surrendering
to the pure singing stream
wind, having died down

sky, just beginning
to lighten- we can see through
the northern window

this grace magnified:
however much we fall and break,
the ground is forever

forgiving; full well knowing-
it too walked on legs
held a job, paid bills
