#1339 - the bubble is closing now

 





1339

1.ix.23

4.245

the bubble is closing now

algorythmic

 

looking up out of my rabbithole

two blue

shone as any moon

 

stand clear!

 

the views go else

and we?

 

all bodies heavenly from here

 

subliminal numbers

burrow up burrow up

 

here is a slept place

 

mine was breath done

 

lie down

be the map

dig in

 

a jealously guarded hour

bright tail

and here’s to dance

 

took up with world ache when

 

and must exact first spring

(all seasons for our prey)

 

come questions then ask

 

mind the doors

(need our looking after)

 

healed over my one day sky

 

I swim in a cup of storms

 

all bodies heavenly here 







SAY YES!

 




SAY YES!

short draft version

 

(G – D – C verse progression)

 

There’s a change that’s coming.

We’ll try to make things right.

Things have been too wrong for too long

hidden out of sight.

 

(Em – G bridge ending on D)

 

Somebody stole a country.

Somebody took the kids.

Now you can say ‘that wasn’t me.’

But tell me on whose land do you live.  

 

(C – G refrain ending on D)

 

Say YES to a brighter future!

Say YES to a better way!

Say YES, I’m going to listen.

I’m going to vote YES on the day!

 

(G – D – C verse progression)

 

I was sent an invitation

Just said ‘walk with me’.

You know what – I’m going to shake that hand.

We’re going to set the truth free.

 

There’s a change that’s coming.

We’ll try to make things right.

Things have been too wrong for too long

Need to take advice.

 

(C – G refrain ending on D)

 

It’s a very simple thing.

It’s just about respect

for people who were here so long before me

with better to expect.

 

 

(Em – G bridge)

 

Somebody stole a country.

Somebody took the kids.

Now you can say ‘that wasn’t me.’

But tell me on whose land do you live.

 

(C – G refrain ending on D)

 

Say YES to a brighter future!

Say YES to a better way!

Say YES, I’m going to listen.

I’m going to vote YES on the day!

 

 (G – D – C verse progression)

 

There are people running all around

spreading fear and doubt.

They say vote no if you don’t know

I say – just ask and you’ll find out!

 

 

Yes to truth and to treaty!

It might be a long long way.

So I think we should get talking.

Better get started today.

 

(G – D – C verse progression)

 

So keep the door open.

Don’t slam it shut.

When someone calls you direct from the heart

That should be enough.

 

(C – G refrain ending on D)

 

Say YES to a brighter future!

Say YES to a better way!

Say YES, I’m going to listen.

I’m going to vote YES on the day                                                                                            !

esperanta serio #735 - indikante supren





735

indikante supren

(por kampogvidisto al aŭstraliaj nuboj)

 

en ĉiu vorto

spiro morta

 

kaj iuj premas supren

tra lekanta grundo

 

por heli kun suno

 

unuvorte

ne loĝante ie ajn

sed pinta

 

por floro

al ĉielo

 

ĉu ne estas kaverno

kie ili naskiĝis?

 

voko de la sovaĝa

kaj granda allogeco

 

estas vetero en ili

 

kion ajn mi estas nutrata

mi kredas

 

vortoj foje eksplodas super niaj kapoj

aŭ sekvas spurojn malantaŭe

 

videbla, nevidebla

vortoj disvastigitaj per maro, per ĉielo

por veki ĉiujn spiritojn

 

ili konkeras

kiel ilia tago venis

 

vortoj fumiĝas

 

nomu ĝin klara aero

kie nenio estas dirita

 

en polvmoto

alimonde

hieroglifoj turniĝegas

 

revoku vortojn

sed ĉu ili revenos?

 

enlitigu ilin

kiam la milito estas venkita

 

estas vortoj vekas min

matene

 


  






pointing up

(for a field guide to Australian clouds)

in every word

breath dead

and some press up
through daisysoil

to bright with sun

in a word
not living anywhere
but pointed

for flower

to sky

is there no cave
where they were born?

call of the wild
and all allure

 

there is weather in them

whatever I am fed
believe

words sometimes explode over our heads
or trail along behind

 

visible, invisible

words spread out by sea, by sky

to rouse all spirits

 

they conquer

as their day is come

 

words go up in smoke


call it clear air
where nothing's said

in a dustmote
otherworldly
hieroglyphics spin

call words back
but will they come?

put them to bed
when the war is won

it's words wake me
up in the morning

#1338 - a harbour walk

 





1338

31.viii.23

4.244

a harbour walk

 

and this is to widen the world

 

with all the sky tones

 

sometimes a branch throws overhead

 

water dragons rear, dive after

 

ant across my page as well

 

turkey and termite make their mounds

 

in snake sunning spring

 

and high up in a tree’s death


someone is always taking off

someone is always landing

 

droppings are laid thick

day drips

 

where I have never been

now I have reached the age of walking

 

best to go on that way then knowing

 

we’ll never run out of harbour

we’ll never run out of track
