under our imagined stars

hammock lyric

 

the land was ours before we were the land’s

                    – Frost

 

and daybright while

the paling lasts

 

least daisies show through nicely

 

where it’s every motion spirits

thing to next and on

 

hammock for a question mark

persisting light

imagined stars

 

all this was someone’s so still is

in the few names left we have

 

and though there’s always

no forever

 

yet they, the ungone

dwell hearts and ours

 

for here is the attending calm

in a window not so

 

the apple under deer

leaf midst

grass high

 

perch precarious

the squirrel runup

tipping out

 

falls as it stands

 

in all the voices of the tree

the bringing of beyond

to bear

 

as we

from day to next

and next

 

murmur in the making yet

 

a song of how we came

and now

a song of how we’re here
