to the undecided

I counted out my confidence in paper bills:
creased into thirds, they enveloped fear
lakes lead to rivers through mountains, through hills,
skimming past my new town. too small, and too near.

I planted belief in the bright summer hours
they grew by the light of the late winter's moon:
empty water, flat, alone and empowered -
the silent stroke, the sunrise soon

straps on the car and a box in the seat
no passenger room: the lap belt is gone,
I'll miss you. no matter what lives I complete
I'll miss you. you'll always be dawn.
