#59 - word by word


59
28.2.20
word by word

build for a future
nod wink
breathless with the business
have that for beginning

castle of things
is a list you can call
kind of a kickoff promise
at least we have to have agreed

you call each presence for a name
and still sometimes unsung
something/one’s out there
unthought … will it think us?

also there’s verbatim
in among these ink deaths
(smears of self on screen)
sign by sign

sometimes hard to squeeze it out
always a jumpstart
till the tune  
and the tune was always there

hands have worn away the face
feet have smoothed the stone
my word
and often, can’t get one in

but broken into song sometimes
there was always deciding to be
and it went on like this
notice how we start

always before and after the law
in the middle of the book
for fantasy of who we were
please just say the word

is my bond and out of the box
cloud of unsure about
bury in the gene pool
wiring up the mind

here they come
nose to arse, chained
to do the difference
form selves into a poem story

maybe can’t be helped
sometimes only just
a colour in and on
my tongue and touch

plucked from air
as idea was
often lost for words
no one now remembers

follow along
with the bouncing ball
we will come to
the absence of all
