692
comes back to me 
I'm where the trees grew 
where the view was once 
I'm where the leaf fell 
see it twirling! 
where the breeze was 
here it comes again! 
where the rain fell 
now it's falling 
I'm where the mouse went 
rafter run 
where wagtail skipped across the deck 
I have a few feathers myself
the socks went in the wash 
so I
I'm where the sun shone 
and I reflect 
I'm where the mountain, the ocean was 
a moment ago --
black space 
can you see how I work 
the void to whim?
nobody knocks on the door 
and most welcome 
where the moon went down 
I'm going 
where the star fell 
so I wish 
I'm where the trees grew 
here they are now 
and the day's away with me 
here like this 
I'm much in the midst of time    
 
I love the subservience of this poem
