Paul Koniecki: “you are my”

you are my

cathedral of air
and hopefulness
in opening things

shades curtains
harnesses reins

buttons zippers morning
sky evening rain
flowers sun

a tube
of paint stiff lashes

bottomless eyes

blank

paper
packs of pens

errant as road trips
unruly as we are

reindeer ready to fly
the other 364 days a year

-for Reverie
