Reaching & Undone

 

I’ve framed a mistake, tired of reaching, doing it, nonetheless;

in absence, to see presence, symbolic purple—

edging towards reaching, bathed in inadequacy, tired of absence.

You seem cured, albeit, heavy, to see you unlock—

chambers and voltage, acting naturally, like old country folks;

tallness, as it drifts, courage, as it flourishes, born ebbing between beauties.

Many solemn seconds, pure grayness, to find a man guilty, for he tried reaching …
