How might I name the thunder
rumbling inside the landscape of my heart,
the nightmares that shake me awake?
And dare I follow those threads?
What if they become a woven rope
rising high into a bell tower?
And what if the bell urges me to remember
the churnings still within?
What if it cries out, “pull hard, pull hard!”
what then?
