Dream in Poetry & Free Verse

Infinity:

I can tell you what it isn't.

It isn't that time I was at the top of the ferris wheel

having a poetic moment when I got another impulse

to jump off and I had to fight it

It isn't words someone said to me once

that had so much meaning that i’ve completely forgotten them

It isn’t the dark blue words

that flooded the congregation

and my faith in God returned to me

It isn’t my stubborn belief in heaven and it isn’t my denial

And it isn’t my pain because pain has an end and dont you get it

everything ends goddammit but

Infinity was a line i drew in the sand

Waiting for you to cross it.

When you didn’t, i was on the ferris wheel again

But this time i didn’t fight the impulse
