earth note 789


i'm afraid to commit to anything
until sunrise
it's hard to see clearly at this point
the avenue might just disappear
let the deer lead the way
or the canine

there have been wild claims
that there's a rumbling from below
your feet might just start slipping
or your balance might go off
the planet tilt is only an approximation
right now we're captive to the darkness

under every bridge
a pile of blankets grow
river water washes over carbon legacy
barges push against the current
you've left me no option
but to answer in the negative

there is no certainty
no gambling
no safety net
no sanctuary
no promises
before sunrise
