#138 - it's the same poem





19.5.20
138
it’s the same poem
the poet in Groundhog Year

think of night all round
get glimmer
consider this freedom
the box sealed tight

so memory my tomb
guess temperature
how’s darkest?
hobgoblin flight

pull the covers up
can you pick a year apart?
a season, think of one

certain words are wasted
take sky and breath
float leaf, cloud bright
cloak out

have done the flutter down
explore or nose about
each particular chord a colour
though there is no light

build a garden from the ground up
or hack back to now
a waltz begins
and back among the traces

treetops of the image call
foot traffic glisten
I wear a world
around myself

was here yesterday
said this already
follow a trail
leads to where you are

and we have been before
there will be day without us
where these unseen
words remain
