This Porch

In the wee hours night
sits comfortable on my
porch with me
not hearing not seeing
just/only feeling
the stretch across day
resting alongside crisp
fresh ideas touching
all over night-time
playmates without faces/images/bodies
enjoying the feel the how
motionless dark provides
simplicity/slowness/suchness moment
after moment
passing through — tight bellies,
sleepy eyes, stuffy noses —
carrying the space for
relaxing with the stars moon
sky earth air
sitting on this porch
