night flight

ground your desire to fly

with the lightness of darkness

that surrounds totally

making you feel nothing

except for the weight of everywhere

it has been

like your mouth and your eyes

and inside those limbs

that wave in night

without anyone seeing

not even you

only feeling the something

in you and the dark

*

put me in your poems

she says

but if she isn’t here

am i

*

welcome we

to the we we’ve become

that we hope you’ll join

without much struggle

for we have figured out

what we is doing and

can do

and we know how important

it is to know, do, and keep doing

like welcoming we

even if we isn’t welcoming back

at the moment

which is what we do sometimes

when we are scared of speaking up

for fear of startling the usual sights

of a single me

who forgets the older voices

of him

sloughing off like screams

in order to scream less

or if nothing else

lose the voice altogether

for we don’t always use it

well

particularly in introductions
