Kit Kelen #543 - just to be here - Essaouira - Mogador



543
just to be here
Essaouira – Mogador

just to be here you do not need much
there's not much you need to get done

something bit me just the once
the place is a fire trap

they don't believe it all burns down
there's rhythm of everywhere here

only moments from the device
and another question comes

silence is a thing to bring
rhythm of everywhere is here

silence is a thing to bring
like a rug to wrap night in
there won't be silence here

they won't believe it all burns down

there's a heart hum blue
to the sky that they speak
every net's to haul in a rhythm

just to be here you don't need much
a moment perhaps – blink of the eye

a bird in the desert's recollection
like a scrap of paper blown

a little light
a little air
hands make a cup for water

the heart beats hard
all your life to here is home
the street sleeps rough in you

just a doorway's width
and depth
you don't come in

it's down you go
falling and falling
and no hands to catch

just to begin requires only a breath
not even a word need be said

they won't believe it all burns down

then birds are the bright of it
we give thanks

you may have had to imagine it first

bucket of voices slopped at your door
let's some centuries passed

you can pay a lot to live in a prison
when you have to run the whole show
