Baby, Back Up

By Animisha Saxena

Darling daring sun

Ruckus ray and blind array

This is your tragic forechance

This is dawn's day

It’s your time to make amends 

Back up,

Hand stitch love’s thread

Rise up like the moon

Fall like the earth

Fall for love's call, fall like sun song

Take my merry bones apart

Across your blazing bidding chest

Like the last day of love

Make a run to far away, take all my breath

It's been days, I've lost count

You've been unrest 

You've take your bones up

To make good, tempestuous mess

Dry up dear, love's waiting, and

Time is to healing, 

As close as fleeting is to feeling

Smile for the moon, take my hand

And uphold my wide vast universe

With eyes wide golden, stares stealing
