just one word

 

it came back

 

and in no time

 

found us where we were needed

 

words do require us

each is a kind of habitation

and they congregate as well

they’re human

and yet

have you ever come under

the spell of one word?

 

some think they’re really someone

mostly though…

 

doesn’t every sign make some sound?

 

grit and gist

 

in the word a picture

in the picture – time

 

imagine the first of all

spoken and gone

 

we are not going to get that back in a hurry

 

but it’s like that with every word

 

conditions must be right

are you listening?

 

there are all sorts

 

instance

a word under cover

spoken against

 in a hot moment

 

a quick word

nothing really meant

 

a word by the way

the odd instruction

 

opus set off

 

one word oeuvre

 

one word leads to another

to thing

 

there’s the frame again

conversation consisting of words

you could say

or come about by song

 

and all of them under the sentence of breath

doomed as each is to expire

 

each word with

its own relentless truth

fierce, abandoned

as any

and duty bound

 

think one of them fighting words

loose like the canon

and some reprise

 

yes, they must be thought

no accidents there

 

speech parts with us all

 

think of a word from one to ten

and that’s how long you’ve got

 

such word a trick of whimsy

one to shape the mouth

 

often forgotten

but tip of the tongue

 

they ask me what language that is

I have to admit –

make it up on demand

 

you just have to say the word

in order to be taken for granted

 

in order to be taken for granted

 

do things for people

assume nothing in return

 

be reliable

don’t be the squeaky wheel

 

be the busiest one in the room

do all that you say will do

 

on time, efficiently, well

 

be tireless at your business

 

in order to not be noticed

head down, just do your job

draw no more than necessary attention

 

show care

listen

take into consideration

 

be open

confide as required

(‘need to know’, I mean)

 

be realistic, accept the facts

 

all differences worth making

must be incremental

 

try to limit pity for self

 

never mind talking just to you though

go with the flow

suffer fools too

 

never expect too much

neither make demands

 

but see your way

by halo light

 

rectify gently

where possible

remain anonymous

‘the harder they come…’

and so on

 

let virtue be its own reward

then you’ll be half way there

 

if you want to be part of the furniture

this is just how it goes 

 

Jeffree Skewes #141 Down is up again

syncronised

in alignment we speak and clearly see

sunset harps go with drums so nicely

words used to describe the present aires

are plucked like peaches restart their journeys now

with only one aim our senses heightened we call it art

no one knows why this is so

it's rhyme or reason a feather

only the sky and everything is pleine

a magic kind of bing perceived somehow

there are no jobs or places to be

future's another town the past went by

here the band prepares just by om-ing

perhaps that's nothing special after all

we saw it all before the forgetting

yet no other deity stood so long

or still took breaths away this way

so let's wish upon this Eve's trilogy

Saturn     Jupiter    Venus

crescent Moon on indigo sky
the Sun setting recounts the time 

we're always in
