On My Knees

I woke up backwards this morning, my eyes already damaged
from the heavy leaking,
Before it had even happened.

I savored the shower a bit too long,
It took about 7 songs
Or maybe more. 

The air has changed 
The fall has rearranged the furniture in my heart
To make room for all my sacred company. 

I spent the day lingering in your every breath,
Slowing down the world at my feet. 
Time might have stood still, there's no way I can measure it. 
Something seemed to be arriving early,
Though I really have nothing to say about what would have been 'on time.' 

I knew you were readying to clear out the dust, 
Light was peeking through the gaps in my soul.
Still, I wasn't paying enough attention. 
I didn't see the paths shifting.
I was in ecstatic pain from my ego's bruising. 

I boxed your ears. 
You humbled and split my lip. 

I am on my knees in holy surrender. 
This dream is dreaming me.
