From The Last Great Adventure Is You
All discovery is a translation of what we encounter
I guess,
to ask is to name
anything is to land
more fight than forward,
though memory knows
you’ll try & I
know I’m no light
of such littlegraces
upon a world
::
:: entire ::
::
it’s always a scheming,
relay of fears in being
{seen
&} seized —
like how flight will
concrete
to kill
its mysteries —
I’ve made
such a call. Or two. Close enough,
when you whisk & wheeze :: hold on ::
& my doubt swings
into an arc of love
against concealment ::
arctic & acute though it might be
when there’s no more
:: ¡kicks! ::
& codeine. O littlegraces & your weary
weary & age-related
:: vs ::
my progress
-ive & neural
devastation.
Patience. I’m getting. Concrete. I’m shaking a little
more these days. Which means turbulence
versus pilot {which} convex as open
fields :: as :: don’t see warm air
jet :: stream
wind shear
smaller & sinkingthings are closer than they seem —
like moonhorsen bending me lovely
:: lovely:: rendering
Ground,
be there
{:: but softly
& forgiving :: }
It’s a lot to. Spare, I’m. Aware, littlegracing, this matter
of translation. Is hiding. Pain {in}
:: motion:: since sometimes. Re-
discovering my. Balance
means ground like trembling
tray. -tables that best be.
Raised. In my. Head,
on a train. Pushing
my shoulders against “stand clear of the closing —
& fellow figment —
Sometimes I fall through arrival.
Or strangehorsen catch me. Or all reaching
for oxygen: secure yourself first & then
others
are a crash
in memory
I covet
to fullness
of full stop —
as if flight is merely centuries
of caging
the winged is. Change of key, at best,
moonhorsen. Faith. Fathertime. Friend. Foreign
element. Try again. Say: o, remember
when I measurement new little gracen
within some abandoned
field. How missing
replaces
real no one can
originate. I’m undone
oeuvre. Some orbitwreck reeling
rusty,
dimmer
ciphers —
you’ll send the littlegracing
to blitz
new flareups {of moonhorsen} in me
just to solid something
when it’s crumble
& squeak —
those days I think
for you would be almost
like beginning
for me
I’m so
so
guilty
