draw close, stay long

why doubt?
wander your halls.
leave a streak
on your skylight.
be known
by the nymphs
of neptune.
speak only
to advance,
leave only
where you are
to advance.
tickle the heights.
baffle the batter
at plate.
feed yourself.
do magic
in daylight,
turn madly,
pray no one,
and stand
in the spotlight
of the law.
