#159 - must I depict?

9.6.20
159
must I depict?

each miracle

country can’t be mine

the hum of money
how otherwise?

must I depict?
seldom serves

show you the house in the garden
seed in sky’s reach

things go and come back
life so much in the round
sleep, shopping
till ideas

in the journal of days
certain lines fall to me
round on the page

admitted shapes of nature

rainbow angels just too cute
taunt and cello unsuspected

I’d say you look well, fighting fit
could I pick you out from a line-up?

bird to the window
could be its cousin  

names neglect me
but I won’t forget a face

and called to give account, interpret
sudden when a bell rings

I prefer the random
leaf to raindrop
stages of the way
won’t know
day’s lessons
we’re timber worn and wet from the night

the swim is more than what I see
the shape more than the sense

in all the ages before pyjamas
a nightcap yawn and must I yet?

little spirits of the page, the screen
and arrow-headed knowing
… where we join the dots

thunder to tell it
the drama the glory

a certain sky elf visits
by the book
long gone

turn on the world
they all try to speak English

hear the bursting into song
see the colours when they come
and if


I keep a record of all this 



!


spot the difference
