#1488 - paint over

 


1488

5.27

27.i.24

we paint over

 

dim slurry

cracks so as to show

 

we untune

to brim the thing

 

empty self

out so

 

we rescue

call all fellow feeling

 

grow up over

like the vine

 

take the storm

by tail

 

we often

wash away

 

pump the blood unwitting

roll over for a rub

 

we smug

and beat the meat till tender

 

that’s a thousand rubs

all polish

 

bury a self

in day

 

it’s vanish where we are

we hunger forth, we thirst

 

how many sheets to the wind

must we be hung to dry?

 

yet the underword

persisting’s a whisper


it’s how we go on

how we go again
