heuristic
(for
gosbother)
so
many things we are learning together
we
used to be big
no
boots were ever big enough
Big
Beard was a thunderer then
first
we saw ourselves in the midst
good
place for a story to start
it
might have been wombwork once
there
were some theories about at the time
we
were on top of a pillar, a fire or a turtle
it
was all water
it
was all fire
the
thing had a bevelled edge
there
was chaos
there
were devils
and
angels
cherubim,
seraphim
incubi,
succubi
and
among all of this mad woman's washing
homonculus
me
was
a kind of conductor
like
Rodin's thoughtful guy
tucked
in
and
you my dear
a
big blue eye like mine
and
we together see -
keep
peering back
in
hopes of beginning
ah
but still we must imagine
how
we will be seen one day
if
there's bothering with us ever
so
poem for the picture
that's
the way we work
frame
and mirror
step
back step back
part
the smoke like cloud curtains
all
the while further and further
but
still no one knows from what
I can't put my finger on why, but this feels sad this poem....
ReplyDeleteThe universe has that effect...
ReplyDeletethis series for godsbother does seem to be on a bit of downward spiral... sorry about that
