inside out machine

for wise surprise

 

special

we’re special

out of the great mass of when

and everywhere

from call it chaos – the unmeaning

 

like cast of light

you lie beside me listening

we’re hearing the whole world, more

hear it turn too

slow ratchet whirl

 

it’s special

elsewhere no one hears such

 

it’s like everything crammed

into a book, a head, a day

 

the way we go is special

no one’s been before

the beaten track’s anomaly

 

so sweet to touch and kiss and coo

time for an unpick thread

watch words come

time and yet so

ache for it

 

last pages of a grey notation

 

the heart, inhabited

the whisper say soul

as nothing as the next

and special

everything outside in

 

all the hours till now

the wishing it

the ways to be

 

it’s not that there’s a reason for

it isn’t as if why

 

in the light of day

there’s more than meets

 

and get this down

shout it out

 

let the colours sing
