Something Spectacular

Something spectacular sat between us

we wrote a grocery list for God:

give us light in our eyes 

white lilies of the valley as milk

bread for our bones

lips to laugh light

catch us between blinking eyes

shadows lifted their legs to dance

peonies found in dumpsters at midnight

coffee stains telling us the time

laundry hung to dry in sunshine

something spectacular stood tall

tip toeing towards home

hands of the wind in her hair

women awake and walking

windows without glass 

words without writing

our voices making the requests known

our eyes fixed on the horizon lines of hope
