do what you are impossibly gifted at.
be someone's bob dylan.
a thief in the night.
the lighter in the pocket of the bag you packed.

search for it everywhere,
except where it is.

laugh in the sunlight.
lay out so delicate
all you carried here.
want what’s missing.

it’s there,
somewhere.
keep looking.
find the flame
before night falls.

you are incense
waiting on dry grass,
impatient to be ash.
