Kit Kelen #220 - no telling


220
no telling


no telling what
a sky could do
it lowers, lifts
it blows away


day's rearranged to suit itself
this corner here's a kangaroo
makes through mist


here's a pocket of birds crossing
they are several songs
all morning


a fire's still smoke
and it's come through the rain


no telling
how the world will turn
which moment's next
but we're with this one


no, it's gone
there simply is
no telling


things rot
and rise to the occasion
that must have happened
see!


everything suggests itself
that's how it was before


you never could have
predicted it


yackety yack
a poet drones on
there's not a whisper of wind now


everyone loves
a sit-around fire
when the weather
is once-upon gone


my new lyre
imparts the half-written
'Fry's Creek Ghost Song'
that was last night


first light casts empty in the branches
pale limbs of such a death still stood


in a first mist
no telling


be mossed
with all the run of it


can't say what's next
but here's for sure


all now
see high up
in the vine
tangle
leaf lit


spectacle's all
no knowing
what's next


to trickle the creek
with a sun of good standing
requires such a first thing mist
