#944 - getting there and getting around

getting there and getting around

 

staircases, ladders, bridges and doors

everyone’s on the way  

 

there’s always half of half the journey

 

let’s not forget blink of an eye

nothing here won’t shift

 

it’s shallow wading sky or swim  

they say the steps are teeth

 

all of them point up

all of them go down

 

gates and come along, too late

xylem, phloem

take the lift

 

a pale breeze sun

a see through tree

 

or simply shimmy trunk

ants do

 

top of the scale, change key

 

here’s a cupboard of cloud for hide and seek

 

as many up as once a foot

when the forest was complete

 

it’s a mirror and all walk in

 

or come by storm

 

so many colours to climb

 

others have another name

for the feint ruled page

we’ll leave where it is

 

one goes to the sky

in such dreams as these

but best is

falling

up
