#1626 - first writing


 


1626

5.165

12.vi.24

first writing

 

must have been from scratch

 

of course there was to count

 

a colourless thing beginning

 

and since my hunger then

 

there was crossing out

 

scratch was an art escape

 

like something to wear

 

to take on the visible

to play

 

it was the making of first voice to stone

to timber, sand

to wash away

 

nor were there names as such

 

so much had been said

much sung

 

was mumbling in one’s sleep

was all this wish to mean and not

 

let river run

 

imagine the first scripted word

 

this that other intended

one could think of fire

 

though no one will ever know where

it was

 

our work connecting the stars
