#177 - come to the unbrinking

27.6.20

177

come to the unbrinking

flourish of self

my comfort in these arms

like mountain come to the foolish old man

here’s mesa top to cliff it

fell over ourselves to get here

forests fall over

and into the drink

raced a clock

to dinosaur ourselves

and came to it unthinking

grit in the wheel

heavens come to a halt

knavish and stiffnecked

bring all your apocalyptrix

some smoke with my mirrors please

flatten the heart

and come to the edge

have you seen dreams sinking?

always a choice till – who calls too late?

doom me

here in the old corner

vanish where

hasn’t somebody lived this before?

dance there backwards on the skates

can’t afford a slip up oops

who’ll be the first one blinking?

edge trapped in head and history

take a deep breath

down these steep stairs

that’s you in the lungs

and otherwise innids

world! have you thought of giving up smoking?

rest the drill and the saw for a bit

how about retire the guns?

are we all looking down now?

see the pit, dare ya

to come to your senses

on your marks

get set

bounce

feel that

and here are the gods in awe

come to it, won’t you, winking?

close call

step back

step away from the fiery car
