The Warrior

The Warrior

let me sleep in the sun
let the otherworldly glow
creep deep into my skin & take root
let me rise in the warmth

there is a spider, a spinner
gumming the fluorescence with silk
the perforated ceiling almost
like stars but not quite the same
effect

i woke up and craned my neck last night
up & out to Orion, the warrior
I drew strength
the sun is power and my dry lips
crackle with the browned leaves
under my bike tire.
