Kit Kelen #1231 - forgetting where I am

1231

forgetting where I am

that there is weather

set off through woods of life

through wall of self

and tolling

a churchworth

to disbelief

see as far as the shadows throw

I meant to lose my way

flower falls

so stand it up

patch sky with only seeing

forgetting how I’ve come?

won’t that make me just a little chosen?

as if for an old excuse

like someone on my side

when really it’s the gauntlet

down, run

at every chance I must decide

don’t single me out

I love to breathe

the winter mind fills up with snow

now I’m here

forget which way to go

calm find

in fast reflections

face to trust－my own

in grace by the skin of it

tops a lighter green

the needle dark

through cloud

comes the godbreak

folk of other times press

by in their prime

come from unnoticed tricks

they’re with us today

perhaps not on paper

which world are we in for, wonder?

best when I forget my own name

strange beast of another imagination

lost to the feeling

down for the count

seasons are coming

open your eyes

nested high

wheels roll

first by the breeze

then an engine

take off

blow me down

in the fumes

here to be home

is our world’s work

believe it or not

you’re there
