1282

at first we looked under a stone

concerning

the discovery of sunshine

in Vesteraalens

it makes a kind of poem too

at first we looked under a stone

then a boulder

we lit up a bushel with hopes

it paints the truth of mountains this stuff

little snows from out the misted hidings

where creature and crevice are one

the Vikings never found this

though they came ever so far

summer could sleep with it

small horses go giddy up with

dwarves sweated with ladders and ropes

we rode a bicycle after the rainbow

hopped in our little car for the chase

it was a godbolt first

like a parting

I think there are flowers in it

and the bees must be in charge

it’s a close sky to top the world

clouds will always touch and part

come again

never the same cloud

but spin into nothing

a limited palette

follow just a colour of it

this bird much smaller than the song

how many dead years?

how much night?

so many have left us behind

but here’s morning

the arrows

page to page

turn a sky

they’re yellowed remembering

someone must have knitted winter long

imagined from a fire

has to have been something like this

call it the living daylights

falls so precarious here

it’s only a moment and fondly

I need to walk into this now

and then
