A thousand pitfalls
twist like thin animals
ready like puzzles
peacocks play chess
with swans
weave requiems into the
sky's carpet.
Birds are your thoughts
they fly with full
alert
every creature is your
word
cats sit on your heart
right where it hurts.
The landscape is an
image
and when you return to
it
you enter into yourself
surrounded by the glow
of image.
Birds are your thoughts
they fly with full
alert
every creature is your
word
cats sit on your heart
right where it hurts.
Even Mozart's Requiem
is a ghost train
through the landscape
the imagery opens its
first chapter
in a swarm of sleepers
each time a theme
returns home to itself
with an obvious whir
of homecoming and
farewell
each time you go to
sleep
each time you hear a
ghost train passing by.
A thousand pitfalls
twist like thin animals
ready like puzzles
peacocks play chess
with swans
weave requiems into the
sky's carpet.
Birds are your thoughts
they fly with full
alert
every creature is your
word
cats sit on your heart
right where it hurts.
