#1307 - the afterlife of everything

 



1307

31.vii.23

4.213

the afterlife of everything

for ghost writing

 

I love the second wind of things

 

breath – how it goes around the world

 

spring onions come again

the water bottle that was rum

a river will be sea

 

things long since written off

 

paper tablet I scrape back

paint over, go once more  

 

two cans and string were once a phone

we yearn for such simple constituents

 

things living, now call breakfast

 

the hero a ghost of the field of Mars

 

loves long lost

found back in the bed

in your head

 

rub through the map

to another world

 

the old ideas return

 

the go again dead of certain religions

some of us will survive anything

 

though good time will take us all

 

a new nap

wake refreshed from that

 

and these words

you see recycled here

they will fit other minds and maws

 

neither created nor destroyed

the energy of pure delight

necessary meaning

 

these atoms all go on
