Kit Kelen #1413 - floruit

1413

floruit

past certain things and still

alive awake aware

this bloom!

you look for a sign

and you’re it

an out-peering

fresh of breath

weary with just hearing the scores

but here’s a view from the top of the game

from

fall for me

we go down together

do the mortal coil shuffle off

to be the sunshine let

rain for a need

cloud carrying member of the poem

and often unseen influence

unacknowledged for a lack of laws

come creeping onto a next page

there’ll be the daisy pushups later

timing is all

even especially in the dry

and likely to light

it was here they’ll say

this part of the century  

a kind of map

thought something not thought heretofore

of course one is remembered wrongly

then not remembered much

and then there’s not at all

there’s nose to arse by whiff

by half a head

by drool

sit down with the words like this

the words and we were always there

see how she/he is blooming now

just follow this simple prescription
