I can

I can surf golden tsunamis inside worlds unseen
where coral reefs are rich
and the sun dies everyday

I can be farther than the east
all directions

I can be all points of communication
thriving on distance,
a star

I can become day or night
moon or light
fence or daisies

I can fly home with rocket boosters flaring
and the sound genius

I can grow forests bridged with planets
and anchored with moon-roots
and sea-tides

I cannot love you anymore

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

    I can balance time
    and space on my hand
    as if a ball

    I can run with wolves
    and devour elk

    I can snow with the Yukon
    beside my breath
    and freezing bones

    I can swim with paradise
    and wake you from deep sea

    I can be red
    beaten
    bloody
    broken like fine china

    I can be tortured
    by my own
    haunted by the darkness
    of my tomb

    I can be in a morgue to long

    I can roast with slaves
    as the witches chant

    I can burn candles
    melting on
    dripping on skin

    but i can see
