Kit Kelen #693 - the echoes long after


693
the echoes long after

imagine a morning
you forget the poem
it goes on

all that's lit is lighter
you're in the music now

come tiptoe hungry
till breakfast begins

and gauge a slight vibration
that's when the story starts

could have been a book
but it turns out you're a scroll
and tumble open to the day
wide spread
the broadsheet world
of was still with

you think you can dance a way
out of this prison?

it's all in paint I sail
forget myself
imagine an ocean
others for the rigging and wheel

lengthways looking up
I see the mast is leafless
bells rung are any old

one is so eyes up for a sign
we could be somewhere else

there's smoke from
can't even see a stack

where a bird comes in
a window will open

just as suddenly I'm home

there isn't a word
will bend to my will

none of this would have happened
if you hadn't forgotten the poem
imagined a morning like this
