castling

he who knows

a father need not judge

you are the one who

does that to yourself

prison walls built

in that sand castle

of a mind

washing away

as the sun returns the sea

to claim your heart

and free you from

your chosen binds

who is behind your mask

she makes love pointfree

he smiles with eyes like dew

they try it on for size

and let go to make room

that name you’ve

long forgotten

for that whole of you

the tree’s roots in its sea

and the fish knows

the truth of me

so it goes

to the smiling boy

with but one plea

and with each dusk & each dawn

promising

promising
