#2264 - desideratum

desideratum

 

I want a window green to look out

not so fussed what

who’ll say weed?

 

I want the sun to fall

rain spoken

let them sing

 

I want a world come in

or air and mere vacancy

an option on the otherwise

 

insect insectivorous

no law but jungle

no clock but skin

 

a pile of years

and we’re on top

scratch of claw

 

pry beak

up bark up trunk

hold tight

 

it’s been a climb

to get so close

I want clouds for conversation

 

continents of mist at drift

I want a heaven blue

I want to take this time

 

 

 

#2245 -- they are all of them telling me

                                   

2245

7.52

22.ii.26

they are all of them telling me

 

have you sensed the urgency?

 

talking their heads off

 

each distinct as any other

 

the ant uniquely nest minded

 

the birds and the trees have a message for me

 

and sometimes in a voice like mine

 

it is for telling out the darkness

they are bringing on the light

 

a pumpkin speaks to me in vine

 

of course they are from another world

why would they know my name?

 

every word is a world

 

I always will be that thing I am

 

no two leaves the same

 

tread on my own toes

 

I think that what they are saying is

‘not yet’

‘we are still here’

#2244 -- not a bot

 

2244

7.51

21.ii.26

not a bot

(entrapment)

 

it’s only money they want this time

 

eyes in my head

after the dark

they know’s there

they put it

 

here, type this

or if you’re blind

 

it’s the they – this that

where’s trust today?

 

no more than gathered dust

 

it was an institution

 

we leaf out

 

they say it’s the last heatwave of summer

 

like hope

but then fear was our range

 

those were the days

 

it’s just that we’re each a statistical fact

 

I live at the edge of the weather 

#2243 -- all for a song

 

2243

7.50

20.ii.26

all for a song

uncalendrical

 

your guess

 

they are first with the sun for a conjure

 

so flit and somewhere soar

 

tangle the air in their time’s faster

 

between leaf of skies as blue

as yet to fall

 

bearers of twig

who knows what hunch?

 

all ways now lit

tree’s down

then dance

 

outnesting

 

carry as season on into next

 

home of lice and less

fearlessly aerobatic

 

all hearts with them away

 

your guess

#2242 -- a mind is made of elsewhere

 

2242

7.49

19.ii.26

a mind is made of elsewhere

 

at other times

at all times

and everywhere we are

 

it’s everything till now

mind is

 

best foot forward with

and even without

 

say selfless

it’s from otherwise

from far

 

from words and ways unknown

 

it goes on

as it always was

 

mind won’t remember beginning

 

you won’t even know when it stops

#2241 - exquisite detail

 

2241

7.48

18.ii.26

exquisite detail

 

intricate the tracery

of scat made off to ant lair

 

leaf fallen apart

someone smaller than seeing has

 

all in

real time

rising from the nest

to bright

 

leaf tumble at a stillness

that, too, borne away

 

there’s my world

 

tree by tree

scratch by bark

 

I live in a midst

 

I say valley

I hear road

 

the thing is settled now

 

walk into the grey of rain

 

all the old names are lost  

#2240 -- it's in the dell

 

2240

7.47

17.ii.26

it’s in the dell

 

I have chosen where I will haunt

 

like you’d imagine the farmer to rhyme somewhere

 

of course it’s hypothetical

 

I choose the bright I’ll glimmer in

 

there will be no barking

no all day dog next door

 

I’m deaf then

 

world is out of counting

 

so many shades of grow around

 

leaf tumble at a stillness

 

I will stand for the rain

there is nothing quite like it

 

to have been here

is always to be

 

the moment is eternity

that’s the way it’s done
