Kit Kelen #1304 - home and ghost again

1304

home and ghost again

this is the not-yet-here day

stop and consider

slowly slowly

catch myself

winter

think a fire to feed

it’s dry

we wait to brim

take all the far for green then

and here’s where I don’t catch up with myself

…again

in my own time zone

acres thereof

breakfast to be

and slept till

so many of me

and most loved, tin

a little shaky

glad

ponds low

here’s the family feathered to  

a little dance of trees

some fruited

and some frost bit

now all the secret world is home

say cast about

say strewn

today’s the day

that I’m not here

smoke fills the valley

no signs take

winter

so much to burn

this old world says

needn’t have

but here we are

among my wonders

rise

so stretch

let sunshine in

and wondering

slowly slowly

ready now

catch myself

wherever

it is

I fall
