Kit Kelen #160 - rise to the light


160
rise to the light


you go where you believe, surely?
clear sky or skies falling
or is it where you are believed?


blink and you're gone
so it is with planets, stars


come through tall grass
under a fence
see the clouds' forced march
some kind of trudge


one opening
will be a poem
some kind of rule asserts


open my eyes
to the dark
shut again
not morning yet


but possum's in position
a beak breaks skin of the fruit


blink and you're gone
so it is with planets, stars


rise to the light
see high up through branches


the delicate complexity
of what we haven't touched
