I found out about small sounds
and even quiet mutterings
how they convey connection
with your peeps
Dennis Willis Sep 2020
I am restless
in this memory
unfolding now
or is it
enfolding now

Seeking restful
ground to lay upon
to arise from high
in air and light arriving
in sounds of birds
come awake

Cajoling feathers
into order
i am reordered
aligned on spines
like grass in wind

i imagine rasping
of a billion blades
green edges catch
and release
this little sound

Split your lip on this
sharper sensibility
bringing even your
fogged fog thic'r
where it counts
this feel we go for
thees reel we hope for
spooling along like a pony

I am alone
earned
an ergo an'
to-wit
acceptance
of resistant
confusion
in conclusion
thoughtless
here of you
can you feel it
the disregard
the absence
of concern for you
the hallmark
of this ending

Pour down
onto yourself
your weight
of never

reach lyrically
into yourself
don't wait
for ever

clever means
meanings
mints of lines
opined quickly
disposed of by
anxious fingers

stopped and started
in their franticness
in their scramble
to letter the empty line
escape the time
owed elsewhere

This alone is instructive
i expect

tip-toe here
'round reason

it explains
so much

falsely
i think you

into trouble
into my pain

then rip  you
out

frictions
invented

rule
my heart

Obliteration hour
hunting down consciousness
an' its hoard of arrghh
with a draught and a glass
cereal crumbled in a bowl
and lit
exhaling thoughts clambered upon
by worry and if
no room left
for that much concern
is my objective
