#thyme
I lowered myself
into the round pit, covered --
with flowering thyme.

this lyric licks your face,
leaving you-salty-caramel
smiling, while listening to Janis, singing
”(You Don’t know What It Is Like) to Love Somebody”
no babe,
nothing lasts,
not you, not love,
not me,
no matter how hard you
rhyme, theorize,
forget and memorize,
life’s only constant is
constantly refreshing all,
endlessly remembering
and forgetting how to
hold on to a heart, to love...
sometime a breeze, usually a hurricane,
comes along, prying your hands
off what you got, or,
prying your eyes away
onto something new, cause
that’s just the way it is
with human foolishness,
you gotta
“to walk, talk,
rhyme and theorize,
forget and memorize,
always refreshing,
knowing that
nothing lasts”
until it maybe does...
———————————————————————————————
“To walk, talk, rhyme and theorize, to forget and memorize, always refreshing, knowing nothing lasts, except things that last forever, last never, poems and decisions needing completion, choices, reordering songs loved best, replete all sorrowed pains, uplifting prayers, hallelujah hymns, last rites....”^

I am just
A willing fool
In love with you
My skin is yours
Your heart is mine
I love you, dear
For all time

You pound on my spine
And it echoes through to my head
Like I am a gong
And you are the man with the baton
When you arrive I feel alive
Because you bring the smell of thyme
Which evokes a positive state of mind
Though you never show up on time
It is your scent
