Gabe Keller Flores
Looking over the horizon
Spot something that chills my bones
My father taught me there are some things
That a body leaves alone
Still there's beauty in a dog's eyes
As he roams the endless road
And there's wonder when we capsize
On a forgotten chestnut grove
There is always someone looking
Over a shoulder you can't see
And you're always moving backwards
From the person you will be
Live the questions so said Rilke
May I do so till I die
And may we rain down tender mercy
Until the oceans all run dry
