#1363 - life has always been larger than me


 

1363

25.ix.23

life has always been larger than me

 

I woke to it

slept through too

 

I never climbed the tree

nor journeyed to the centre

 

I work my bones to fingertips

thus touch the larger scheme

 

it’s every sense to itself

and all the corners full

 

I had as much uniqueness

as any as each as all

 

leaf and even midst of

where the ant went more

 

I could take off my pants

and be free but

 

life was always larger

 

oceans and all inhabited

feathers up above

 

had a halleluiah back in the Bible

locust field wave of a breeze

 

and golden – it was the trumpet told

 

someone threw a roof on top

shrunk for a hat and then the wheel

 

kicked up own dust and even there

things that they invented!

 

walls taller than the truth!

it’s possible I’m disappearing

 

used to be able to

fell out of the tribe before myself

 

no one knew all of the words

it’s just the one vast we attend

the ball round blue

all far far spark

 

incomprehensible verdure to rise

this is my best oblivion

 

I stand before the hour

unbowed and until now go on
