exilic

for the dream catalogue

 

that yearning

for what can’t be got back

 

a cattle rolling green of hills

light within that day puts out

 

possum am

still unbegun

 

dew thick grass

mud under

it comes with a hunger in time

 

call it anxiety

here to wish

 

to wish a way back

where no track brought

 

and all the while this gathering

 

refuse it for a while

so say otherworldly

 

a growing light

where ours the limbs

and ours the foliage

 

still cling to a stillness

we are privately arriving

therefore gone

 

things brought us

and the heart comes back

beat at a time  

 

we’re practising falling here

 

it must be the day out there
