Kit Kelen #1091 - the secrets and the treasures

1091
the secrets and the treasures


days have chased us here
it's not that we were looking

things meaning
for the hands passed through

time it was when

we each were unwrapped
under such a tree

dearly beloved
we are gathered in dust

like the idea surviving
the groundless belief

truth in such hearts

the year unwound
and years

because we lived the wish to be

everything lit is already known

it's we who are in the dream
nothing fits

each is of its kind

take cliff
or pool
dinner table

each finds a self

sometimes a mere succession of us
brilliant fizzle

then try a little further back
knock on the past of this door

here where Christmas was
back in the box
breeze to guess south
fills our televised sails

and find another continent yet

the house
for a running down clock
you trip over

try to remember
back into
notes to carry a tune

start down
swim the tears

train is a tunnel's yellowing end
daylight will find us consumed

deeper then the ache till love

this is how memory will be

ghosts of the living still sing

everything is already known

weep for the past
that it is passing
as we ourselves soon will be
