#1416 - the black dog of duty

the black dog of duty

or

risk of self

 

things broken such as ourselves

things let range, let wild

days tricked to paper

 

lines tight

little terrors

a swallowing wish

 

a page, a canvas, screen needs filling

 

which of us not towards death?

 

fact spare of drift thus far

 

aren’t there the same claws?

 

a self consisting

where some have called for truth again

lapse into the blank about

 

perhaps because of such a fear

drive myself on like rain

as if purpose might find us

where there’s none at all

 

by way of ache too often reminded

 

easy distances

 

and go to the place you’re not

 

a headswell

a heartsup

see to this not arriving

 

there’s nothing possible advised

I get it

 

 a whole world whistling here
