I like to lose myself in the work

for ghost writing

‘in the time of the gone’

 

I like to lose myself in the work

that’s where I like to go

 

to climb the mountains of the mind

plumb heart’s depths

and search for soul

 

I like to do some drowning there

and salt the snout with sea

 

it’s this that

keep a tune in mind

throw in some bright chords

 

and colour!

call it what you will

 

take this down –

I’m busy

see me worrying the bone

 

a game of old habits

fun to go

that’s how I like to be

 

every day the work’s nearer destruction

who does this remind me with?

have to forget myself there!

 

I love to skip and run and play

make a general nuisance

 

am I worthy of the words?

don’t know if I should call it a picture

ask –

have I spoiled the page?

 

of course!

 

I love to be gone where no one can find me

in the picture, if you get me?

please don’t come looking though

 

you should

you could try it too

 

might bump into you here

there’s no intending

 

no pills or potions are required

 

open this window and find yourself

just where you always were
