All is watchword
spelling outer rings, falling into a frame, starting again.
Always onward,
spilling outward, opening, falling out of frame, starting again.
Always on, alone,
reeling outward, pining, flailing like a flame, a star—again.
I was an onion
peeling, a flower opening, falling into a flame, a star again.
I was on an ion
feeling a flower opening, fallen into a flame, a starfish aging.
I was an eye or a
feeling, a flow or an opening, falling in fire or stargazing.
Time was an eye or a
feeling, a flow or a flowing, calling on fire to start again.
Time is an eye in the
ceiling, a roll and a knowing, scalding fiery stars again.
Time had eyes and feet
things, holding engrossing, scattering pyres, cardigans.
Time has eyes and free
thinking, roly-poly, one gross caterpillar, pardoning,
empathizing, feeding
on holy knowing—an enormous caterpillar, harboring
empty sighs—though
filling with wholly knowing, ginormous cataclysm hovering
energy highs,
thoughts filtering the whole knowing enormity, schisms closing—
E equals emcee
spires, hot fluting notes droning musicality, spasms echoing.
We qualify, spiraling
peers, outflung tones, owning music’s reality sequencing.
Sequels of squares,
nearing undone, oboe droning ecstatically rendering rings,
satori staircasings,
wind-chiming person/polyhedron in kitchen melody piping.
Saturday sunbathing,
wind deciding pursuits to enrich afternoons and evenings.
Saturday sun bathing
Richmond, abiding with avenues, guns, ditches, bees knees.
Sunday’s sundry
earth-things, family abode, hunger and riches of green beans.
Are you a genius or what! Amazing poem!
ReplyDeleteThis is another form, a limberick, limbering me up for new wording, a type of verbal contact improv. I want to be this limber again, to avoid kerneling up or hardening down into strictures of mind or connection. This poem is medicine.
