Kit Kelen #1395 - I won the tiniest prize of all

1395

I won the tiniest prize of all

came slightly with a sigh

had all the parts of speech

who’d say where?

had no capitals

to tread the forest in a trail till light

a stretch and till to be  

I circled like a shark

but won the tiniest prize of all

drop of rain

in the dry

I came home and saw

how everyone as one exhaled

born here

allowed so much

I take myself for granted

to spill the oceans

at the table

I had a seat there

and on the train

at the bar

there was a lot of sitting down

and dips my lid to anthem

won the littlest of the lot

you had to listen hard for it

green tree snake saw me

kookaburra for its scarecrow sitting

must have been the tiniest of trophies

I was I mean

born here and allowed so much

take myself for granted

that these words are my own

found them!

vague impression I have left

waft of let’s say

won the tiniest prize of all

your brave face

and a view of

I was the sacrifice

and everywhere around the fire

here where the dice have thrown

to sit in the music and still

o next breath please be mine
