Sliver

Lots of rejections,

lots of revelations

came from the woodwork last week

finally being written this week.

A sliver of grace is all he’ll get today.

Tomorrow comes a taller glass,

still empty, but waiting,

all airy, yet see-through,

from one end, another.

Upon the head, it smashes,

echoed like dodecahedrons

bleeding into mirror-pieces

that pelt at the drawing board.

This week, it’s the loony-bed,

stretched out on a cloud

where ocean blue is bull-shot,

slowing salt until it stops.

A sliver of space is all he asks today.
