A Poem by Kendall Miller
God—in shapes behind the eyelids,
Words scribbled in a red notebook.
I’m holding onto color for dear life.
Dear life. There is always something to be said about
the wordless prayer of my head on your shoulder,
the secondhand laughter that leaps from my lungs
on any given Tuesday evening at home,
the pressure that builds between my temples after
I’ve spent another day not knowing anything for sure.
Nothing is neutral, not space or silence or the sky in January.
Even now, creation sketches birds onto the bleakness.
The cry of quiet things—Keep it alive. Keep it alive.
