Kit Kelen #992 - things show up in odd places

992
things show up in odd places


impossible to predict

the next door chooks
lost socks
parsley in the weed heap

sun first thing shows east
or snout told little traipse along

things unaccountable
larger than life
turn up
for the books

comet for sky smear
season there

the fence unstuck
temperature everywhere
only in the room

breakfast in the branches

voices of least birds
and ourselves along

an itch, an ache
even laughter augments

in a calendar of other days
can’t call epiphany
it comes

a sharp
a flat
something diminished

a broad grin
likewise, firm resolve

the poem spilled over the page
or stretch for the imagination

you could find yourself in treetops

words long since sunk
will bob up here

out of nowhere
mist come

the rain when hope
was all exhausted

an arrow showing through
some shining

it could be a hand
near the top of the clock
or yours in mine remembering
the road to bring home

throw a line of dots
in this lost heart
find love
