tonight i watched the moon rise
and the people go by
beneath my fire escape.

An escape, but i couldn't find
a single place in my mind
that i could feel so safe.

and it was necessary.
to figure it out.
all of it that's there.
but it all said to wait a little more.

it said to wait for it.
trusting, out into nothing
that i will hold it in my hands.
there is something concrete to reach out for.
