Kit Kelen #429 - the music can be enough

429

the music can be enough

never a roof in its own right

more like the head keeping up with the hat

but you inhabit a vanishing land

sparks up as truth so you know

the courage of it listening

the music can be enough

it's a stretch mountain

of itself yet pat

through glass, two are poling the mud

thanks to the idea of fish

or here's the ladder and we leap

you'll get the picture

as the rest is in the bones

as the future falls to our easy siege

thin air must conjure wings

the music can be enough

alien spore, the stretch, an ache

because time is the planet turning

and who can hear?

what meets with us in memory

once was so vanishing

we had to make it where we went

a trill, a rill

such stream as turns

and takes us from the mill

I stop for it and get a whiff

all opening and secret is

flower and ordure and then

I'm bodied, bold

the fact of it is every colour

the music can be enough

they're dragging me away

not a word is said

it rises and we ride along

horns we kiss

a stroke of strings and fingerings

invention is the tide

it's like the wheel

like fire

but in the mind

and deeper down

the soul it says

not knowing what to mean

quizzical quirky

it is all upfolding

blooms

perfect as anything passing is

the ear is innocent in this

you must believe in it

you trust

it is all imminent and next

abstract of any understanding

as if consonants

were gone for a season

let me beat a drum to ward off day

the music can be enough

so full of surprise

every tail should wag to in time
