Pull your eyes away
from electronic interlopers.
Stave off all urgent replies and forwards.
Gently lay your burdens down
as a baby enveloped in a crib
of blankets and soft comforts.
Guide yourself out where
the humid winds move through you
like shape-shifters,
and the spring peepers
noisily mate in the twilight.
Look up, look up.
Don't wonder how it happens
every night of your life.
Don't say it's beautiful.
Say nothing at all.
Forsake the moment.
Disremember the day.
Look up, look up.
