A Poem by Joshua L Stelling
I open my eyes and it is like the sun
This hand
Fingers rays
Reaching in like there’s a hole in my chest
Light passes right through me
Or how do you explain my shadow?
We usually cannot see
The entirety of the line
Circles, we see blades of grass
This hand
Fingers rays
Touching upon my heart
Or how do you explain this warming?
There are things between
The two sides of a line
Infinity, we see blades of grass
I open my eyes and you are like the one
This girl
Eyeballs blaze
Coming in she burns a hole in the east
Her coat is open clouds
Or how do you explain the color?
We are so often blinded by
Things too large to understand
Idolatry, we’re just blades of grass
This girl
Eyeballs blaze
Threading right back to the start
Across the sky she comes
This hand
Right through the veil she comes
Reaching into me
I watch, then blink
Waking with the sun
