I lie awake in the night because
1. I remember
the embraces
and
2. I consider the unfolding
the making sense of it
an axe swing
and how
how did it come
to be
from lover to executioner
And I lie awake in the night because
3. the night remembers
4. the doors open to stars
5. and black flames
burning
the diamonds becoming
from the ash
And I lie awake in the night because
6. I am alive
birthed again
Remember
and reach
out
to the miraculous world
for the world lies awake in the night
7. listening to your breath
and every rise, and every fall
of divine rhythm
a humming
mantra
of seed to light
of death to light
