#1129 - another came

 

3.ii.23

1129

4.34

another came

 

we were nameless

no less human

 

I could smell

I could tell

by the song

 

it was a future far in other eyes to see

 

just here

we won’t remember

 

two as if all as if one

 

teeth bared

yet sniff to tail

 

I, trumpeted

you too

 

it is beyond ourselves to meet

each called up spirits

 

amateurs at this, at all

 

track may well have told

 

sky over

and we each clung

to the crust and pile

 

how we of our time and gone

 

perhaps we overdid it ?

 

there were no words back then that far

 

it was a kind of signature we shared

 

as if intending welcome

as if each were a question

still here yet to ask

 

a kind of untouch

 

well down far

in pond in stream

 

caught at breath

 

it may as well have been me

 

‘it was you’

I might have said

the way a tree would fall
