#271 - the finitude

271

the finitude

for godsbother

 

trumpets announcing shed

the century of tin

 

brim tanks

there’s only so much holds

 

splash up

come solid

 

rain stands the walls

why where else?

 

up grey

in mulberry deeps

by thunder

 

that’s a bolted blue

and spill the tricks

 

will we be bitten?

if it please the court

show some flesh

they’ll come

 

call fever

I would fly from harm

and who’s that in the lyrics now?

spiral up done

 

well beyond the half time siren

(a darkening of woods)

often they’ll ask

‘is it enough?’ 

billionaires I mean

who already have the funds for forever

 

world waiting me out

world wins

not the puff

 

stars blinking

what do they know?

 

coming up the path then

shadows  and steady

how fellow few we are

feel on your face where the web was

 

not seeing beyond may yet be far

 

but  live to know trees bigger

already it’s an afterlife

 

still in tune with

and frequently go out

 

channel bills, bower birds

some lesser, say a wagtail

to its faster world

 

someone has to live in the wall

time is where we were

could touch it once upon a time

 

consider a point of light towards

nothing left of the ever after

 

come spin

 

but be so minded

never to give a damn

 

measure it in distance, years

of a pilgrimage

 

we go to the music

we don’t come out

 

the greatest thing ahead of me

 

it there higher catastrophe

than hybris? 

have to ask the gods

 

and drunk on speed itself

come blind around a bend

that’s this world every time

 

who’s counting?

 

the bodily stone

(longer to come on)

everyone home

feels you

 

I live in the biscuit

consider a pie

and fell to me like kisses

 

I was always an open book

more than you would care to read

 

if all the things written were dreamt

there wouldn’t be the worlds for it

but

I was the busiest one in the room

so got everything to do

 

it’s here we tend the dead for instance

and it’s no more than that

 

these miracles believe in us

that’s the why we’re here

 

not everyone can remember the words

but it goes something like this
