Kerri Shying R # 261 - The Tardy


The Tardy

are you sitting
 down

 then take a deep seat
to hear a long

 story 

some things
they take time

some days
you are

standing
at the edge of

 whatever cliff
presents

that lovely case
in hand       inside

the careful
chosen items

for the day
ahead

 as planned
imagined

a piece of what will
move you

up the pegboard
this day the sun

abets
takes you to

the coffee sweet that
warms you and then

dressing             you hear
the sound

you hear sound
your body

a speaker for itself
emits this noise

regardess
of the lovely case

the chosen items
 day ahead as planned

it is a lung imitating
an A4 piece of paper

being crumpled
here is the calling

what is not
plannable

yet is knowable
and known

about this body
somewhere

where there once sat
anger

 sits me
in deep chair watching

I had best undo my grip
on the case     and the shoe laces

undo the
imagined places

I was going             the actions
yet performed

I climb back into bed
 cover my head

with the soft
nightgown

I understand
 nothing else exists

except my sounds
stop imagining

the flesh
this tearing paper

turn a pencil to the art
