imagine your vanish

 

an end of seasons

 

as is the-all-to-come

the going as true as today

 

all yours

it is insisting

 

for now you may inhabit an ache

and more of the same

such is permitted

 

many things other way round

 

time’s arrow though?

halfway and half

a fall, no bounce

 

but time grows close

 

and closer

you may not know when

until unless you choose

but

not know why

 

they are dropping like flies

 

all reasons are given by way of excuse

 

humans of my vague acquaintance

my friends and many matchless

 

where are the Romans today?

 

we do as they did

that’s most of the trouble

 

it’s we have dreamt up

there must be a reason

 

say Earthscoot

but the mortal remains

 

no taste to tongue

no other side from which to see

it’s like the eye

that way

 

organ of expectation

 

like thinking’s all up in the air

 

all in a moment

that’s where we go

 

till then

live past to be in contradiction

one would like to think of a mirror

 

so polish

go further in

 

come to the point of no fingers, no skin

one day pinch and gone

 

then who’s to imagine it all?
