#837 - an earthquake in Iceland

 

20.iv.22

an earthquake in Iceland

 

as real as any dreamt

 

stand up in the forest

dragon, bloke with spear, an ox

 

we throw ourselves down

 

counting on luck

a comparison chat

(do this in English)

 

have to bring our own chairs

to sit outside the boss office

 

it’s lichen, it’s moss

 

in every dream another world

and see them all go by

 

one dressed as a Viking

from the festival

 

the worlds we know

towns persons

not where we’ve been before

 

dodging the heavy machinery

in the snow past Reykjavik

 

by kayak

harbour at night

 

we see different things in the same

 

ahead of myself

in the underbus

 

I often had a London

sometimes flew

 

though flimsy on the evidence

 

Spot the Difference was a dog

and One One too

 

keyboard walk

perhaps unmeasured

a gradual sky

 

money the least of me

 

river is music

 

think of us just the disease

milder, milder, gone

 

in all these worlds of home

 

won’t read your writing later

know where we’ve been though

 

plunder up to a shape evolved

 

fear of falling embraced

over time

 

dreamt

so it was so
