reset barn

reset barn

i need a reset barn

a space of timber

leaf and loam

corded with shade

and supple sorrowed solitude

a waiting place

more heart than home

where crosswise tears

fallen forgiving

form diamond paste

a lazy lustre

all my own making

smoothed corners

released limbs

freed of the faking

i need a reset barn

where the lap of water creeps close

tugging composed draughts

from spotless air

far from the lamps at scream

lit by ageless stars

passing the time of day

with the moon alone

i need a reset barn
