Breathing Indigo Poem by Gavin Cassens

Love hither up the spiral
and the bell sustains it's silence
impressions on stone mark me well

left the flat land an hour ago
to have a smoke and get some sleep
walking with you while breathing indigo
wakes me inward and windows seep

painted shut over thirty years
five in one and ten in a dime
finally open and shifting the chime

halfway over yet just beginning
twice as fast as we watch the middle
living slow in full vertigo
I know what love is two

how far can distance travel
four and then five, maybe more
respite and release internal core
