I’ll Just Stand Still

I’ll just stand still
looking at the sun
and stare it down
until it lets me in.

I’ll just stand still
surrounded by pages
wrapped tight
with curled edges
which explain the night.

I’ll just stand still
until I see the glimmer
waiting for the stars
to explain my life.

From the morning
till the end of the sea
haze of the afternoon
as I watch the red skies.

I’ll just stand still
and watch the night
until the blue eyes
of morning –
watch me.
