Kit Kelen #594 - a place in the sun

594

a place in the sun

as simple as that

the football facts

of our obscurity –

a television roar

I went back to rescue a line

but it was too far in the dream

to catch

sky is as blue as day here

it’s a little business

going broke like this

follow where a leaf will fall

see the bird beside itself

see feathers come to a tail

a place in the sun

but which?

so many shine!

I too am frenzied for the light

hear the boards creak

but ghosts won’t come

I wanted to be pictured

the fable of prowess

never caught a shadow cast

but it was steel sprung industry

captained by a call

some myth all made up

like gods to go

smug swagger

the wind gets into my head

that’s knowing

here where no one will notice

night and what can be done for us

it’s you’re the one who’ll tell

when the time is come

you won’t see stars

without a dizzy

in at least the dark

to work in silence

for obscurity

that’s how we’ll

be blessed
