My Treasure

Where yoga mats and mathematics sit

Calamities like kittens calmly play

Rusted through a car horn my rainy wit

Wet silence says the things I cannot say

My mind released the esoteric glance

toward kite strings pulling weekends lost at sea

the heights at which we engage in the dance

of what's to be or what is not to be

The golden rings I cling to in my sleep

Give me the daily dreams on which I ride

in a birch boat across the murky deep

Gallant bouyant and with no place to hide

Tie me to the mast like Turner, I cry!

Let me feel the cold sea foam on my chest

Onward, into God's swollen heart I pry

giddy in this hidden treasure chest
