Long
game
There you are
today
cans aslung the car white
beside the kerb
and me like me
never anticipating
meeting these
characters from books
the world runs up to meet me
sometimes takes my face
facetime makes time
what ever happened to
the world I thought I
knew the place where
I belonged I make
space to plant the next row
of chard and
think that small thought
over
eggshells tea leaves
banana peel all fertilise
what grows what heals
the trick of keeping going when you cannot
think matches to
the other trick the trick
never looking
down
Beautiful, Kerri. The formatting too, the small pauses within.
