Happy to be home at milkweed flight
the clear cold nights and needled frost
just right for what could be
yet there's a wave in me
that's breaking still
it builds from ridge to ridge
and rolls with thunder through the valley
it shakes the posts sets off a buzzing
in the beams and brings me to my senses yes
all of them alive and sparking
in this ocean in my sky
a lighting bolt is five miles long
and i see nothing common in that.
