Agitated Air [what it would mean to move]

what would it mean to move

out of your orbit     into what

long night     no fun being

locked here     bright face always

turned to your indifference



how could I have known it would

be hard to live on radiance alone



but if I must let me not want

more than this field     this tender to

& fro in equal time     let it do
