EARLY

The setting of the sun
inside my body is slow,
though not imperceptibly so.

Dream water leaks
from what I think
I mean by "early".

Now is here and
here is now and
heaven is at hand.

  1. I love this poem. I think of it often, especially the first sentence. Such beautiful alliteration.

  2. Thanks, Brittany. And I always place emphasis on the great when I think of you.
