Kit Kelen #426 - two poems (two ways of reading in one book)

426

two poems

in one book

all others before

long way down

but still further up

if you look

those that were burnt

smell sweetest now

those that were hidden

shine like the sun

in one book

the future is written

and your fate

all the work of your life

we'll come to that one day

*

or that's a certain way of reading

let's say

there isn't a last poem in the book

I refuse to read that way

when you're in one opening

there's always further

by snout

or stick or finger in

let's not mention the mirror

smells like a mountain

so you take first steps, breathe

rise like a heavenly body

but how can a candle wax?

there isn't a last book in the poem

there isn't a final word
