Such helplessness
in desperate reach
through sight, scent,
sound, speech,
untouched skin
evoking sky fall answers
from frozen sheet of sky
just before dawn

the night takes on the infinite dark before the first light harks across the rim of the world. These hard starless nights that freeze the last ounce of love and tear lonliness into little bits of impossiblity.
When I answered phones on a suicide hotline, the hours between three and four, when the world stopped breathing and stillness was either a gift or the end of forever in the last swallow of hope, I would get the calls and talk them to dawns first light, that light that was just a possiblity in the way that night became a shadow intead of darkness, when the world regains its shape.
Good image. The frozen sheet, I shall remember.
