Eleventh Hour
you see through me
like a three way mirror,
reflecting my gabled forestry
with intent so much nearer
each angle, each facet,
reveals what lies within;
no troubles, no tacet…
just the truth, needle and pin
prick from blood, i find
map of days to go
& in this, i take in kind
for i have yet to grow
in the heart of the matter,
to the depths of despair,
i see the SouthEast in lines & tatter
of which i relish, i swear
so make me whole with your omnipotence
see through me like glass
but watch me shatter & sunder—precipitance
i pass
to the dirt & to the hills,
i langour in lush love
for all to see in stills
or thereof:
so, see through me still,
& let me see you, oh daffodil

“oh daffodil” is such a sweet way to end this poem. Nice writing, Sawyer.
