#539 - planning to live forever

 



24.vi.21

539

2.172

planning to live forever

 

has to begin today

 

by the book

camp pyjamas on the line

here and now I mean

 

long list

(shall I refer you back to the bucket?)

 

the dead are visiting us

unfed in the dream, unkempt

 

it’s all light in this very place which isn’t

(the arrow fallen, the atoms limp)

but the dead have let themselves go

 

ugly statues, know no shame

it was writhe and wriggle out

all excuses

as if they survived the catastrophe

 

forget them!

catastrophe survives

 

in an hour like ours

with the wheel invented

roll and spin

 

some things live forever

o – why can’t I be?

 

come to the game of self

Lethe deeps

 

for just an obol

shade eyes

choose your any day

tilt and start again
