#889 - let's go back

let’s go back

 

to where names once

 

we’re packed and ready

won’t be missed

 

luggage by the door

first birds find

 

let’s go back to our own vanished

 

light is coming hillhigh

speech mostly understood

 

I’m sure that everything’s

just as we left

 

to where when

say call spring

no vows required

 

we’re gone with a kind of nakedness

carry all in a plastic gladstone

 

always towards some sea

or

look into the well where we fell

 

bright under height

 

in that place once were free

never knew

 

stairs still stand

 

went back for a thing and no one cared

 

(always bring something from the other side)

 

it’s the only way to remember

 

come either way

to a smaller world

 

look under the dream

and retrieve

the vanish

 

go back

on the very next tide
