#2228 - taking each other for a walk

 

2228

5.ii.26

taking each other for a walk

 

no lead needed

though single file sometimes

slip back, press on ahead

 

dad said

behind out of respect

or else in front to guard for snakes

 

mainly though it’s conversation

earshot thus required

 

and lift a leg

lift eyes

 

here creature come along

 

take topic turns

 

round the block

or just a headsup

 

join the dots for a line

raise dust

 

there are some days

take just myself along as well

 

it’ good to maintain locomotion

 

cross the page

and hope to die

that’s the gospel truth

 

#2227 - the cosmos is telling me stuff again

4.ii.26

the cosmos is telling me stuff again

 

mostly trivia –

put your best foot forward

and watch out there

many a slip twixt, so on

 

of course I have to translate

that is, in fact, most of the message

 

this is a lot like taking dictation

 

it’s never exactly a list of instructions

much of it might be obscure

 

do you see these signs too?

 

it’s a beautiful day in a beautiful place

planning forever again, yet again  

 

I keep my faith in the words that are lost

my own faith lost in words 

#2226 - make mine widdershins

3.ii.26

make mine widdershins

a round in the rain

 

thin mist more like

 

the clock goes

 

where feet

and that’s the way

 

chase calves through the fence again

 

am I gone?

will stay?

 

it’s once more round  

 

high up

high where you won’t see

trees singing all the while 

#2225 - joy of not knowing

 

2225

7.33

2.ii.26

joy of not knowing

 

which way

where

and whom to blame

 

of having yet to decide

 

does the world end?

do words survive?

 

it is an undetermined joy

set come-may-what

 

like an unknown ocean

just have to guess

 

what’s behind the dark star?

why moon so far away?

 

smell the smoke was

rain went

 

might not even know the question

 

but what is to be done?

 

surely it’s time?

 

I leave the door open for friends

 

there’s how this leads to wonder

how wonder takes us on
