#687 - listening to the heart

 



 

19.xi.21

687

2.323

listening to the heart

 

I, echo of all others

grown over

and throw a voice on

a little dizzy with

roads running

 

got us where?                

 

beginningish and endly

 

rolls blood around the beast

 

incorporeal in other worlds

so am the message sent

 

it has this turning loose

say foible of forget

 

the clock on a roll

and Christmas

(a gathering for decoration)

 

is this for such a one?

who’ll ask?

 

heart has a next beat

and a last

 

the heart with its hills

drift

beats out

and I am sometimes grateful

 

a literal thing

 

in the garden for toil

& lie down

steadying self

for the night loss

 

the kindness rules

flower opening here

 

let it back into the chest

treasure the woods on occasion

 

come paws to mine

feed from the tune

lay chord over the half rhyme

 

bright

scratch behind ears

 

more chairs than I can sit in

 

I am dictated to

lines dotted where a border might

or else explorers still

how otherwise discovered?

 

though we were always home

 

and it tells

keep the ship steady

a breath connection

 

who throws a question

catches light

 

what ancestor will say truth’s done?

has never had the heart

 

has this ever been published before

 

the unpacked heart’s all this that

have an ear to the ground

 

it’s for the life of me

and mine to yours

time tells

 

take to the clouds

will wisp

 

who dares us out to day

from dark heart?

 

densest foliage there

bumphled in folds

 

there are no further stars

there is no deeper well

 

it was the animal’s decision

little as we are
