#1126 - a welcome to the work

 

31.i.23

1126

4.31

a welcome to the work

or first of possibly many

 

come in come in

shoes off

 

come feet first

 

let light bright the words

so go beyond

 

unburden

 

welcome intensity

sparseness too

 

distraction

 

welcome to my wilderness

here’s weather

come gone

 

other things lost

all being equal

 

shall we not cease hostilities?

 

although there’s no arriving – welcome!

 

stop just where we are

 

a kind of eternity

just a moment please

 

tell me out of which world

 

wings come through

such as may swat, admire

 

follow my smudge stain scribble scrawl

 

already in the picture

already in the poem

 

and being here now

(you’re welcome)

 

you must join up your own dots

make the music

 

how briefly all are

how few too

 

it’s time

and time is running out

 

for a treaty with all creatures

a treaty with the trees

 

I cannot claim to have much of a plan

 

it’s lovely to meet you here
