#2347 -- the joy of nothing gathered

 



2347

7.154

4.vi.26

the joy of nothing gathered

 

of everything just let

 

nor give nor take

 

a day in the blue is all beyond

 

there’s risk of nothing to say

 

big animal business – leave it!

 

and glamour!

 

nothing dead in the trap today

 

that’s diving in at the deep end

 

hearts, as of a clamour

 

of course we can’t

it’s natural

 

and the gone?

just let them go

#2346 -- the way of the wallaby

 


2346

the way of the wallaby

a little dao for your day

 

the way of the wallaby

is not the roo’s way

is not the way you go

 

the names of the wallaby

are not known to any of the wallaby mob

 

there isn’t a kangaroo knows too

 

dry in the gone

 

whatever you call them

in a good season, more come

 

the wallabies may be myriad, manifest

 

scatter just at a footstep

knock of a car on the road and they’re poof

 

the wallaby’s way is a wonder

who knows?

 

it’s in the ears’ rotation

hop in hop out

it’s all in a trick of the pouch

 

the wallaby cannot be called by name

 

it’s often still among a day

with others else beside

 

the way of the possum’s all up with a tree

the way of the insect is under

 

ants will take the posts down in time

 

and there are other wings

cannot be known from here

 

wire lies in the way of rust

 

it’s over the fence as if there were none

the wallaby comes through our gate

 

it’s gone

 

was there a gate ever there?

#2345 -- calling it winter

 



2345

2.vi.26

calling it winter

 

by the light come late

a certain angle at

in the gold beyond of falls

 

a micro blue moon sets

 

possum takes on the roof

 

a pondlap frogspeak

all those ducks take off

 

wing reticence

 

lemon ready

 

slow grass now

you put on pace to get around

 

harder and harder to work up a sweat

 

flicker of shadow low on a box

 

it’s winter to the touch

 

a little leaflessness

sporting mulberry

yet the bud puts out

 

there’s no other name for this

it’s winter – I’m calling it now
