Trying to catch one clear promise out of the jittery confused language the night was whispering

mere words

a miracle
that there is any meaning
to these short strings
at all.

A promise
from our confused bright language
one small jump away
from truth.

They slide
out from our mouths and slow fingers
trying to connect
the dots.

And yet
a moment where connection does,
perhaps, occur
shines brightly.

The night
whispers to me one bright clear promise
we will all talk
again.

A once passing chill through my body	Tell me another lie	You don't know what you're missing without me	This wordplay bullshit
Sometimes it's 4 a.m.	A single sunny day spent laughing in the face of impending disaster	Tell me something dangerous and true	Smoke rings
Anatomy of a tear	The night your father was stabbed in the back room of a convenience store. No mercy.	Three chords and no chorus	Just a little bit sometimes of forever
Honesty is the best policy, but wait a while	Subjective argument for eternal life	A promise the forest made to the rain	Look forward, young man
Pour one out for your dead homies	No hero in her sky	miracle	Falling
Cussing in Hindi	negative theology	The Boy Who Destroyed the World	Death Day
