" Moving Up "..

"Moving Up"

Moving up
pining
for the sun

wanting
to wake up
as solstices come

churning during
dawn and dusk
solitary wonder

holding off
judgement
under cover
of darkness

trying
to keep sharp
under spots
of stars

scent-marked
flaring nostrils
from sulphurous
marshes
of subconscious
pattern and logic...
