Dear Heart

What shall I
Say
What shall I
Do
Today
I ask and ask
While there are no letters
In the sky

What shall I
Pray then
For an answer
A direction
If not
A plan

How about the next
Step
Only
How about an inclination
Certainly a push
Should help

A small one
Maybe
I won’t
Tell your supervisors

Or maybe you could help
With this
Great weight
That seems
To be weighing more
Today

Some small lightness
Which
I’ll take for
Freedom
To move along

Dear angel
Thank you
Knowing you are there
Is
Of course
Something good
More than
You know
You know
