#692 - between the heart and happiness

692

2.328

between the heart and happiness

 

green in the first day dell

               spun clover

are books of long ago

 

the drip lit tip

of the forest fell

 

between the stars

such distances as

 

a dotted line to mean

ellipsis or explore

can call it daylight

 

hear the steps upstairs

a sneaky cuddle no one sees

the slamming of car doors

 

as we were shone of sun

stood a shadow

 

treetop fond

keep up the drums

 

trick of years

where hours are thrown

 

strings and hammers

between two heads how far?

and now the ever after

 

bravery hum

and feather breadth of

a gift of borders, fences

 

such days of storm

must worry with

 

the true history of what comes next

and having it both ways

 

between the heart and happiness

wore a string of laughter tears

 

I improvised a life

the writing run together

took up where the soul left off

 

a rumour we were here
