Impossible Hour

---------------
i once slept easier than a
black bear turned golden
from the sun:
resting
safe, heavy
in morning pastures.

i once knew more than an
aged sailor turned bronze
with wisdom and overwhelming light:
dreaming
loud, anxious
for the sun to glow red, perpetual.

now it is dark and
i am restless and
i want to blanket you with
technicolor sun
but its late.
i know that it's too late now.

where are you at this impossible hour?
sunken, dying,
entirely out of my control.
