that one

 that one


in these days of fire we need

one snowflake

one tide to turn

to run

a cloud to break 

one sunbeam to alight

the way it does

you know the feeling

long tunnels

on slow boats

locks cranking slowly

one sluice rinsing 

the rising levels of grief 

the black horse on the towpath 

to hell and back

where IS the way back

one storm 

from behind one cloud

one rush

of a moon’s veil

on eye to blink

one kiss to nape the neck

of one shrug 

to shoo it all away


you are that one
