Kit Kelen #1191 - the tasks of my dreams are too great

1191

the tasks of my dreams are too great

for Sarah St Vincent Welch

after reading Open

with some velvety

in my invisible cape

shut eyes

so no one sees

Hercules and Harry Potter

I set down the river in there

up through sunshine

saw the leaflight

in velvet sleep

music follows me some night

it’s a piano chasing

must climb where

I cannot connect

I know them all

can’t name them here

have you noticed we’re standing  in water?

a very common thing  

in here it’s time come to the garden

meaning a dance under the sprinkler then

how rusty our sources of light all are

where everyone believes

I do the superhero changes

some will hear a mouse squeak

in velvety sleep

some half under a rhyme

and all the world’s to do

will know the many creatures that I keep

along of oars

and tell the tune

phone booth to the past direct

with Button A and Button B

the ISD birds sing

a radio tells peace and war

in here

in time come

the boulder with my name

and I get to the top to be gone

in the garden

sweep at the dust

but the dust remains

here’s the meal I can’t eat

bitter, don’t know why

closer and closer

the dawn day world comes

shut eyes

turn to my chores
