finding
the first line on a tin sky dim day
among the yawns and stretches
destiny!
unpick a single thread
and everything unravels
like sleep resolved to the whole catastrophe
last night's big bonfire all to ash
wine must now be water
here's the to-do all half thought through
with birds expressly on their way
and roostering faroff to urge
kettling of steam to tea so sip
hasn't the grass grown overnight
with what innocence land all lies
not a truth to tell
here and well past the halfway
woods grow darker
with, let's say, intimations
carry the book
like it's already written –
tablets a mountain
brings down
Love every line's weaving and then the fire , your voice burning upward
ReplyDeleteLove the final stanza especially, prophetic.
