the future is our secret arrangement

 

we keep it close

tell no one

 

all kinds of things may be predicted but

 

it’s quite a way to come into my world

with no guarantees, if at all

 

you’ve climbed this far, reached a peak

had a moment

 

the future, too, will be everywhere

just as far as that goes

 

these are the ruins of what was

the true parts must lie under

 

though it will come

it’s to distract  

 

despite the propheteering

a future’s never as foretold

 

efficiency is all about guilt

the need to fit what’s here

 

take self from day – where’s time?

we fail

 

sometimes walk with the creek, take turns

who has precedence?

who knows?

 

still there’ll be sun shimmer

where the river’s morning runs

 

we will – won’t we? – return

to the all day river

 

night falls to it too

 

please tell me just that you’ll be here

 

I write the book till it falls apart

I hope that you’ll read this way
