Kit Kelen #786 - nobody knows the moment we're in

786

nobody knows the moment we're in

all a hunch at having come

and even if we say 'we're here'

that hardly constitutes a claim

being just because

in a stillness set

and you see what stirs

blink

how is the plumbing in the tree?

the past like a puppy

and we're the stick fetched

calendar winks

over at

music is listening for us here

futures come when we call

someone sings

the weather for us, just for instance

this island twangle

diaries piled in a drawer

years before I was up for it

now blank, not even printed

years beyond me yet

it's gathered scraps by which we guess

must have somehow blown this far

a clock is always calling

radio speaks puzzles

the becoming of us

none of us ever lived for this

one day the drugs give up on you

nobody lives here really

but it's hard to get away

in a stillness set to go

we've come to know

what's next
