Tracy Galloway Poems

Words
Loose coins
Rattle and shift in my mind
When the change collected from waking hours
...

I put you in my window box
Where my sun meets earth at dusk
And fair pistils of your hair
Unabated by the scorch
...

The breeze of right intellect
Winds swiftly and blind
The capture
The conquer
...

I cannot stay here
Where your ghosts are tossed about
In a sour sad array
Groaning blame
...

I followed you there
To the rope's fraying end
In feather soled gait
Your ears didn't twitch
...

When I am gone I pray you rest
Fold down the hearth you warmed in me
And sleep with purity and blush
You are dream and I am there
...

I feel your heart with me
Through the tired hours
And over the rocky ground
As a worry stone I hold you
...

I grew up today
In a moment I was both my former
And a step ahead
With lightened pause and grin
...

Toss aside doubt
A moment
Close your eyes
And open mine in your mind
...

Drown out the din
Your inhale
A sinewy pause
Between soft implications
...
