Exist on the largest scale:
swallow the moon with each inhale,
change space when you breathe out.
Can a word from you change anything?  Speak it

and learn.  In particular time
this moment — your moment —
ought to shake the basalt
below your feet, though you’re standing still.

No more the tiny life, no more the exceptional
detail.  Stretch for something greater.  Thrill
to fail.  Thrill without success.  Leave behind your
dinosaur bones.  Erase the shrunken you.

you must have knocked or otherwise
fooled me into letting you in

there is no way I escaped from you
only to have you arrive and be welcomed

into my terrified arms
to embrace or wrestle for an interval 

so long since we kiss-bit
shed blood then soothed wounds

what was I thinking to let you arrive thus
included and forbidden to me but present

as no one’s ever been present for me —
full on possession down to spewing and fear

bright demon in my waist 
my center of leaden gravity drawing me to drown

holding my breath as long as I can 
only to release it at last into your own last gasp

what a pair of pistols we have become
opening fire simultaneously

without any need of a word between us
it is just exactly what we always knew would happen
