move forth into being
channel the night
drop off and be dazzled
by a radiant light
no further, no waking up
crazed, but upright
toward the sun
and toward the moon
every moment
every move

drop out of religion
carry the weight
shoulder the discourse
bury the brave
bring out with the beggars
all weathered and grey
and remain
a bold account of living
day to day to day
