In The Closet, With His Peach Sunsets

in the closet, with His peach sunsets
I hid my words.
they were young:

a flourish of pale green leaves.

they couldn't understand yet
the gunfire of simple

conversations.

in the closet with His provisionary
angels far from the alarms

I hid my silences.

they were already
like snow before it falls

on a stony landscape

all that they could ever be
at the beginning of glistening
