Kit Kelen #413 - the problem of reciprocation

413

the problem of reciprocation

I see a little way into their mystery

I'd like it to be known and to them

but they're not the seeing kind

the mountain's sensate otherwise

I feel it's so

they have no feeling for me

and so the trees are for the forest

hold the stream to course

like cupped hands

can we see what they catch

when they've heard nothing coming ?

even with a mouth, with eyes

it isn't so hard

to tear out a heart

from the living flesh

and hold its last few beats

in your hand
