looking

i am sitting on
my broken keel
looking for some
words to use
some tension
wire to repair

a crown of 
moons in her
studied glare
looking at 
me sideways
how can i forget

great bitterness
we borrow and
move on to
higher ground

dark green bark
covers grass
my pet lizard
looks at me
at an angle
i bring him water

& then
proceed inside
looking for peace
while said
peace is outside
looking in

great bitterness
we borrow and
move on to
higher ground

with eyes closed looking
looking on a world to share
