Then to Be Embraced, After Walking

Mark Fleury

Then to be embraced, after walking
On the sheen of a beach, by the earthy
Smell of a fog

That joined a blue
Reflection on the wet sand
With the paint on a boat

At the shore of the moon. At the edge
Of the essence of sentence as first

Feeling, my lungs are filled

With melted storm clouds to reveal

The thread of sound behind their travels.
The tightness in my chest
And the tickle in my throat

Are herds of bison
And lightning crackling and falling
A dusk branch. These sentences

Have always been here; the poem,
Via the syllable, sheds light on them.

That’s why the top of my head
Is a many-miles-wide field
Of flames,

My life, flickering in the water’s edge.
Now that my thoughts are the rising,
Transparent, shadow colored smoke

Behind the sentence, I can fit all
Of me in the moon. It’s actually
Gigantic up close, standing, there,

With my wine glass
Of melted thunder,

As tall as the ash colored rocks,
In my house of windows.
The wind turns the stones

Into clouds, where the edgeless
Syllable, sun, me, descends

To Christ. The thought
Lands, dying, that I keep

Touching. Feeling.
