#1771 - Lethe light

Lethe light

 

without a thought come to

 

an ache in the weather

waking

 

a dew sheen

 

around me

all that has happened

 

big lizards and snakes in my dream

farewell

 

no taming the changes

no standing still

 

one animal is often another

they’ll bring you along

 

where I wrote certain things

brought the furniture

 

goanna runs up

thinks you’re a tree

 

underache, over

without a thought

 

it’s how time breaks things down

it ploughs

it’s the wrecker’s ball

 

it heals

and we put up with it

 

tap toes for a song

 

poor blind goanna

 

change tames us

 

imagine a wheel

the work of the will

 

the long rhyme is time

clepsydra spill

 

ahead of me

what will be
