Since Sunday dreams of
childhood attempt to wade the murk of day distractions
to give direction/let one
see
your archetypes - human remains in slow
combustion, needing burial & then the night mind-play
has you stepping w/ literary HE-ro down to light. Recognition
strengthened your ability to see blue & sue
me if I am a heretic.
Autumn is a plea which
has taken a wrong turn, violated the logic of cottonwoods &
gone horribly wrong gone
away to a place unlittered by un-wanted apples in soul-less alleys.
Nevertheless, New Zealand is not a reasonable solution
as dawn produces 1st cool day
in memory, we lay here stabbing death w/ 2nd hand cutlery.
Rilke's
poem
the Sonnets to Orpheus proves nothing except
earth is a bed we cannot reckon w/ until near death, it
is a play whose plot, Lynch-like, confounds, it is
a
child w/ infinite questions
that stump the cardholder who
knows a dead-end when she sees it. His
poems of enchantment by trees & how
A dream of hers, all her dreams, are my domain
different than say a star's explosion into fantasy
& tendons, more a
gradual descent into uncovering another
lyric that enters the mind &
takes
over
