I
Wanted
I wanted the whole moon
white where it is, blue how it
falls.
I wanted the earth,
collapsing and folding.
I wanted the ocean to rise
and unberth us.
I wanted the loudest thing
in the morning light
to be my heart,
still beating.
The short break
in a long poem.
The glass to stop
breaking.
Trespass.

Oh I love this. Especially this: "I wanted the loudest thing in the morning light to be my heart, still beating."
