Into an Empty Field

waves of indecision
flattening this smile

accept

accept

accept

tear yourself open
go beyond that smile
miles beyond
into an empty field
filled with blue sky
beyond track marks
of
been here before
traveled this way long ago
of
the newest territory
simple
one foot before the other
over and over
over and over
the risk is tripping myself on flat land
the risk is entirely in my head
entirely
in the sky of my mind

through the heat on the horizon
an object
one form
in three
simplicity stops
