#946 - another world where I also live

 



9.viii.22

946

3.219

true state

or

another world where I also live

for sleep to dream again

 

dreams are full of what you can’t afford

the ways you can’t go back

 

all our damage

beat of the breath

 

just as real the feeling

but the floor, the ceiling fallen

 

flying as well

 

there’s winter warmth of the fed

under fur

 

some failing, characteristic

what you’ll say won’t be enough

 

they’re there

loved, gone

 

often, day thinking

this far away

 

other nameless creatures

matters of fact

 

the old urges

habits to have, to hold

 

to touch

 

am I otherlanded?

nowhere to place my feet

 

the animal perfectly slept beside me

 

and darling, tender, you were there

so many of us too

 

from every day before

so knowing

 

the morning’s first broken light

 

nor ever quite so simple

as just here we are
