out there,
blink and you'll miss it,
is the promised land
(or at least somewhere different).
pressed up to the glass to see it-
but i get distracted by my own reflection.
like a live-wire, hope flickers
against the pitch black
in rich contrast,
hypnotized by the horizon,
i hold out my hand-
i just want to build
some kind of bridge
to where the source material lives.
i want to build,
brick by brick, until i am changed-
for a minute i'll be endless,
for a minute i'll be brave.
for a minute i'll make sense of
all of my mistakes.
i've poured over the blueprints,
i've stuck to the plan.
even a little ahead of schedule
but still missing parts of who i am.
my active imagination
fills in the empty space-
the pencil reaches wide
but like anything held too tight,
it breaks.
i just want to make
some kind of mark,
permanent ink
right from the start.
i want to draw,
line by line,
until i am changed-
i just want to build
some kind of bridge
to where the source material lives.
i want to build,
brick by brick, until i am changed-
for a minute i'll be endless.
for a minute i'll be brave.
for a minute i'll make sense of
all of my mistakes
and for a minute i'll be endless,
for a minute i'll be home,
for a minute i'll make something
to forever call my own.
i'll always wrestle with patience-
the dissonance of purgatory-
but i'll try to make use of the tension
in this first and second act of my story.
