#46 - all the straw dogs


15.2.2020
46
all the straw dogs

shall we speak the making of a poem?

as all prophetic for
here I am among them

a kind of telling to the world each day
writing out lines
just for the wickedness
of must
and this that

these words in favour of impressions
taken for a fact

they are getting me going
rubbing my

straw dogs to whom we all report
sacred as much until

pushing the buttons
from scratch and patch it

already I am misremembered
here in my corner yet to dry
still rub, touch

gathered as in accusation
tossed off if no one minds

under a higher pile

conceal myself in paint
and tune

misapprehension’s industry
away with it again
loose lipped
with shipping sunk
I’m misquoted and mismatched

in gossip
from whisper
and having changed hands
so I speak my mind

where
is there some eternal law?
has someone told me how to think?

no, freedom’s what I will

and shall we make the poem speaking?
