tirelessly
(for notes on method)
work within a clear constraint
to and from and away
alongside?
for instance this world we're in
is it too narrow for the heart you've brought?
dream another
be bound by those rules
it must all square
run rings around
work tirelessly
get a good night's rest
let the cool breeze in to wake
no such blank as to begin
but a rules sets the edges
you add to the pile
like a language you have to travel to find
know the limit
so be beyond
know there's no way back
brush teeth or go toothless
such is the jungle in our law
the rules are all you make them
your own
or play by someone else's
how far can you get avoiding that?
one word goes after another
each follows the words that came before
and stroke for stroke
note for note
it's the same
each of them is a choice
constrained by after and now and again
by gravity and levity
and more
every place is pretty special
every one as well
you are to begin
where you happen to be
then you begin to decide
not to mention
the objective conditions
it's this way with word
it's this way with image
these are my memories
run any order
that could be a rule
let brevity be blessed
no heart's as wide as this world
keep the beat
forget the clock
go on in your own time
fall only ever for the questions
work up a clear constraint
go to it
you're the master/mistress of such fate
as falls to to you for you alone
to intuit
so do it
tirelessly
and well
just
do it
ReplyDeletemate tying yourself in knots,
no wonder you're tired
And you're tying me in knots too - but there's a wonderful beat to it all which keeps it/me/us ticking along :)
