#1658 - privilege of stillness



1658

5.197

16.vii.24

privilege of stillness

 

keep to the fire

like a word from dreamdeeps

and then one more

 

the ant trail

 

there’s falling

there’s coming round

sitting up

to clench

to stim

 

full of wings, the stillness

a song tells on

 

the turn too slow to see

but blink

 

it grows to the eye

alas

 

long exposure

 

words from another place are here

 

a comfortable chair by which

 

keep the fire

in and of

look in

 

even the moment spreads out as a ripple

 

you may think skeletal remains

 

how it’s wrong of the dead to be gone

 

light grows

 

paws of the dark attend

 

cling in our raft of each to each

 

still to the point of touch

 

even the sun comes up

 

a trick of the heart to go on
