ON WONDERING WHERE THE GOALPOSTS EVEN ARE




it is 
hard to
carry on
with this writing game
when i could fall 
face down 
all over the floor instead
& cling to the edges of the rug
swamped by 
the useless raving
of all the trying things
& the iron & blue & dusty jewel
that is our constant moon 
is gradually backing away
& i cant blame them

~

& on the tightrope
over the panic net 
i am trying not to happen at all
& trying to be like bracken or moss
like deadfall or a railway sleeper

but i do get up again
for my meatsock needs
 
& i see a bird in the garden
all the colours of oil

& i get on with it again
with writing this down
