magic cave

a further meditation for my friends Matthew Power and Anna Fenyvesi

 

a magic cave the head is

full of up to tricks

as far as wide

as sea laps in

all there is to know

 

overrun with rumours

hunch and which wind

will it blow

 

spells and whispers

gossip, griefs

someone comes knocking

then who’ll be home?  

 

hid from someone

in a dream in there

because there are dimensions

and time is tangled too

 

pictures from here always perfect

where I hide and seek

drawbridge up

 

and language for horizon

aliens despair

 

come to me next vision, thought

let’s call an idea

 

it’s river misted where we land

to bring our craft ashore

 

where all that was comes echoing

all guess what will be  

 

but mine, as each, is special

it shelters from the rain

it lets the sunshine in

 

my head floats off one day

yours too

 

and so all our longing’s lost

 

some say soul

and some say brain

but I pay them no mind

 

some stand upstairs to witness this

and some among a tree

 

the music makes my head go round

 

home of thought though skull is

 

it’s otherwise heart’s free
