Around All Souls
by Chris Andrew

Thee in plain speak, looking up and harboring—
what little good of little want is waning, 
waning on our insides, outsides, 
a clever moon sharing its faintest light. 
Thou art the looking up, getting high, 
listless and yet admired—
All Souls, defying the logic of
what careful angels track in nests— 
tied to hope in the orphanage—
and even the dust by day we tread.
