for the grace of whom go i

or shall i stay as dust

for a moment

later stirring swirling

time and memory

there but held in disregard

there imprisoned iron barred

where image clouds essence

and presence transparent

for a moment eternity or

simply a day

for love until discomfort comes

and i’m wandering away
