Wanting 

Someday whether it be when the sun's fingers hook the horizon 
or night planets reflect their gaze upon your eyes 

you too will walk away 

Finally uttering your last breath like a poem's end or a moan 
you too will send a long shiver of delight 
up the skeleton's back, joining 
crystal bone to clean air. 

In this moment, as the silver fish of memory 
scatter in the sudden move, as longed for tomorrows
tremble out, winging away 

you will lie or stand at last 
in that precious interval between then and later 
in that pause 
you will lie or stand 
present        at last.
