Jeremy!

conveyorblog:

behold, this dreamer cometh.

the script was already written.

all the punctuation perfectly placed,
all the pauses held formally, stuck in the back of our throats like
an unknown hero, like a silent ‘e.’

we tore pages from the interludes of histories, arranged and rearranged them,
authored great revelations and messages from beyond the grave.  

the corners softened to curves.  the tape yellowed in tiny measures.  
the world waited to be lived in, cradled in the wings.

we were cast against type, “c’est un miracle!”  
but everything else perfectly placed, yes, lungs full of air for the dive.

that map folded in my pocket, yes.

yes; and amen.
