Kit Kelen #445 - beginningish



445
beginningish
or
getting out of bed on the right side

first thingishly
of light much
and of bird begun
so winged with seeing
and as with sky
so we reflect
how dark it's been

a road runs
then by bicycle
a whole world rolls
and rolls away

first thingishly
already flown

say I was dog
and here is bone

winged pup
I won't be bitter
have heard the song
for some bald bark

I slobber cloud
how tenderly it touches
and makes a meadow in me

but stretch to it
restore and swing both arms about
wreak havoc, harrow, resurrect

there was a breeze
to twinkle toes

the making is all me you know
much thanks creatures
for the ride
for tide that I rode in on

time has come this far along
as in my bones to be

beginningish
first thingishly
I was otherworldly
uncannily at home
I could smell
the day pour through

first thing it was
there were those
who so to speak
as if once upon
ever after happily
for me were all
beginningish

obverse – remember
(it's the same)
someone stood in the stern
to till the sea
and it was river run
where from?
where to?

what was a little ache to me?
all the day's already in
and everything I'd do
is of this sky
upheld
to say
to see
to show how

I got out of the bed's right side
now I could go anywhere
that's our conversation come

isn't the music in me then?
how else could it be
I swim
?
