#2129 - bright out there

 

2129

6.301

29.x.25

bright out there

jetlag series – possible prolegomenon

 

to shutter up

some cloudbright

 

then all the screens ahead more glow      

each with its own story

advertising too

 

what has it taken me

to rise so high above myself?

 

the west is out beyond us there

is that a destination?

 

the day of smoke is ending

 

day, too, goes down

 

now beyond that

dark to all embrace

 

we have escaped from where we are

                  from time

and won’t remember

 

there must be a lesson though

and doze, shoes off

 

step lightly on these clouds, we must

 

to wonder where the stars will come

it’s where we’re nowhere now

 

sit very still for this

 

be grateful for what sleep
