#667 - time (a grotesque)

time

a grotesque

for godsbother

 

the wishbone what if

that old endlessness

tune of the heart

wild clock set upon

 

chestnut!

 

now resides in my speaking device

or only heavens tell

I check it every often so

 

leaf and flock

I, passenger

a cough

 

where we lived

in all dimensions

 

is pointed up

a juggling thing

will I resile?

 

to say

and sow

and reap the whirlwind

to deny

 

somebody thought a beginning was far

and never say never they said

 

the chapter verse

and pray for rain

 

light’s intricate tracery

taken to skin

 

here for a good time

then laying to waste

 

always

ever and day

cows to roost

all over the moon

chicken half way

and half way across

 

never tell me why

 

a candle brief

we all to it

longing out of scripture

into the open air

 

and we

day labourers

dreamfed too

come looking

for a rhyme
