1248

let them come home, the creatures

their everywhere was when

and we were of the many then

never even named

another winter was

had huddled through

imagine us out like the tide

not to see

nevertheless I am telling you now

a moon

and green shoots

come grazing

song without words

far and away

so fellow snouted

wary with

and in the wilds of yonder

out like a light we too must be

and all to share our dark

sky to dim their eyes go down

so we can wonder why

frolic mud forth

sun let sink

in further dark

a dream set

and we walked in like that

crooked in the cool damp

backs to

how then

deep in damage done

and all this never knowing

not for them to

now I can say our

must mean an excess

do I bracket? shall I underline?

for stillness like a picture sat

and always more

what miseries

each fed

breath to breathe

how then we yes

and it’s our right

a gathering of twigs and sticks

a home inside the fire

crumble fallen

new script now

sense of once was after ever

you can hear the road

will we be

the Christmas risen?

are their hearts for ours?

cruel?  

well, set our own to catch

we live in such times

tree wrecks

in among cloud fallen

cooked in the cool damp

backs to

slept off

let them come

out like a light

we too must be

all to share our darkK
