returning to dust

Henro Day 5 

 

coming off a mountain 

all wheels 

 

from deeply in a night so slept 

 

light kerosene whiff

and the roar

 

flat asphalt foot 

 

make a dawdle day 

 

so are the gods bent

worn to it 

 

out of this gaudy lavish

religion

dogs and cats bow 

traffic at a signal too 

 

the DIY sacred

flat earth and trudge

I am back to the rusted country 

poor place is re-emerging 

 

inches from petrol 

this latest love

 

from monumental ages

 

time is on the way as well 

then every footfall stone 

 

the world will spin again 

pale moon still sinking west

dissolving in the pale of day 

 

two ducks take off away 

and later hear them land

 

if you think you’re out of this world 

 

then which?
