Kit Kelen #991 - having so much and wanting more


991
having so much and wanting more 
 

we fill up the space
fill ourselves up

works and seasons
days and hours

to the gunnels!
a shipload and more

starts with the spare room
and shopping

years!
more from the bottle
more of the cure

sugar does the trick
continents of us

between the stars
call constellation

we discover more
and name them

me
pure demography

less fauna
in the tree laid down

for instance
all the eye takes in

and then consider
picture, map

dust!
baroque arrangements
the scribble come out of the frame

us
we
and you and me
others of our ilk
say family
say empire
tribe
nation
sing

then I’m a little leaf turned tune
in branches up
and innocent

instance truth or love

gather the all to me here great God
a buffet for my breakfast
and mightily dispose

you tired
you huddled

and suddenly I am
give wishes

I’m boundless too
welcome
will we?

won’t you be
one of mine?

won’t you come verdant
to my shores
?
