#266 - imagine the garden completed

266

imagine the garden completed

 

just so

 

part of day perfect

angles all right

 

a petal strew

breezes bear off that idea

 

was there ever a first thing silence

or world before?

consider snow and melt

 

no take offs, no landings

but remember

beginning midst as ever

 

I bend to weeds 

and here’s the key out of mortgage

 

it breathes in the dream

 

did someone call Spring?

I hear the singing 

 

a cleanly wantonness

this mine for you

soak into the paper, see

 

live in the fear of fire

though sky is open to

 

signed sealed and so

 

no one can tomb it up like this

but grows to its secret

wild with years

 

crumble walls

and take the city down

 

a leaf through the latest edition

 

all of this goes without saying

of course I am buried there

 

a visitation

come by wing once more

 

finished is kaput

 

imagine the garden completed –

that’s not to imagine at all
