i: past
ii: present
those bodyblind days
blink, body’s eye
in fresh dust floating,
blink away a
petal of me,
motes in a mad eye,
the masks that
hide
new to the neighbourhood
us from
each other,
and rootless
gorgeous motes
of self
we wore ourselves out
separating
everywhere:
brother from brother
we were childhood
and vast as play
blink
and
cards, books, video games,
enough
cares stored on shelves
to stir my
dust;
and days we never
I want to
see
took a look:
everything:
we had selves now,
a sickness unto
death,
even eternity
and what are we
had no power
to undo that
the hours,
what freedom! death
listen,
my childhood friends!
the only place we couldn’t go,
can
be made unwaste –
our minds not mazed but
no time is gone
amazed and not
until time-glutted souls
by why but what:
swell into flower
we spent our when
and bodies mesmerized
right away, exactly
forget to be dust
when we wanted,
and holes grew down
blink! blink or be caught
like roots of void
behind
into our souls,
a beautiful nothingness:
sucking the dust
it is more than time
for its flower
that separates us
