The promise is adrift (a poem by Sheri)

 The promise is adrift


the night was in my mouth

dry as if a smile made the hours stretch

something along the lines of acting

becoming and straightening up a full sky

the battering of waves weakens the clock

there is a rush constantly in my head

that says Now and if not now never

the battery is in place and the moon purrs

attention given to the stairway

I'd feel it in my hips if I had any

lost to an ache and the body cry

it all out in sweat make good

on what was started Once Upon

a Time
