to wish a season

to be "here"

(the vanity of

unanswered prayer)

to will a way

where will will go

that eats the fruit

that didn't sow

to conquer clocks,

stones, and orbits

that sit in

unanswered silence

infinitive echoes

the places that did not know

and where will will not go

to die alive

and live for death

breath in, too

and exhale breath

that will become

everywhere

and will is where

to go.
