I.
Warmth.
Unknown
warmth.
As
if birth has never occurred.
Bodies
like branches.
I
move & move,
but
never too much far away.
Silent
song
primal
tastes.
The
fog & the wolf
the
hug & the blood.
The
night falls as a dress
over
a naked body
a
dead body
an
unborn body.
Breath
across the starless darkness.
II.
Deep
fog.
A
figure obscurely reaches out to apples
springing
from the womb of the earth.
Who
are these people?
And
what is their purpose?
Showing
up
grasping
at the solidified extension of the fields & hills.
It’s
November 3rd.
III.
What
is a home?
Should
it have you?
Entail
you?
Remind
of you?
Is
This
an
imperative condition?
Where
is my home?
And
why should we
-
any “we” –
expect
a sky opening,
when
the sky constantly comes & comes & comes
but
never really reaches any place…
IV.
I
can build up the world with my hands -
its rocks & greens & streams & lights -
and
serve it in our plates,
a
marvelous dinner
candlelit
with
all its pomp and circumstance.
But,
still, your plate will remain untouched,
as
a couple of other plates next to yours,
the
apple pie getting cold
the
wine losing taste.
