Kit Kelen #1099 - a proper catch up with myself - for a field guide to Australian clouds

1099

a proper catch up with myself

for  a field guide to Australian clouds

guests have all gone

so exorcise a little

an arduous machinery

and the pipes

some friendly fulmination

afoot

cursive

as if windfall

out of my system

go to water

take stock

buy and hold

come on like a lightbulb

and in otherworldly powers

measure my own length

end of days

attend a revelation

peace and mercy, justice

how on earth?

and not at all

calligraphate of all skies

every scribble character forming

soapbox let’s say

or on the ranting deck

piano midst

by my own hand

in my words

my oath

and among such heavenly bodies

just taking down what’s there

fool to not know the gods sing through

I make it all up myself

atomize this me

take the hoary rod for a spin

old sock

and sausage spent

penny for your chestnut

so many last words shed

light a skin

and lamp left burning there

to the barricades!

to my dark breach again!

a clearing shower

stretch and feel better

you’ll see
