Scrupulously second by second
A timekeeper sits at his desk
Near the tallest mountain
Riding a cloud one would guess
Tabulating only plusses and minuses reams of paper accumulating
Behind him
Keeping scores almost blind
Deaf and dumb
To secular or pagan
Reasonings and mores
No more
And no lesser
Just calculating
Everyman
For everything

Almost I want to help him
Throw in my impressions
But ignore
Me us


He does
Balances

The ledger
David Barr Nov 2013
Can you feel the grain of antique furniture as it rests in a collectible era of ancient insight? The first meal of the day no longer appeals to me amidst the carnivorous projections of feminine vocals, because the casual walkways of a house and its cereal expectancy have equality with Italian sausages and dishes of tabular wonder.
Dust the cobwebs from the curiosity of flaking window frames. Will you open the door to the nether region of symbolic ecodesigns?
A massive tabular Iceberg
floating among an ice sea.
Climate change-induced chaos,
Between disruption,
A new phenomenon has emerged.

In white, desolate landscapes,
a single building sits there.
Smoke came out from the chimney,
a cozy, warm blanket, and a cup of tea.

Blue and Orca whales,
Penguins and Sea lions as well.
Incomprehensible beauty,
and a reason that I cannot tell.

Pristine mountains, dramatic cliffs,
Majestic white openings, chasms, and rifts.

— The End —
