new and in another and pure / shut-down

October 10th, 2006

we have everything
haven’t we?
if not
dance a song of longing
shall we?

count tear-stained faces
times zero
uproot the saddest grass
shut the door, shut it
may it be wood or glass

do not look back
don’t
before you: welcome
harm
it won’t

iron scraps lead you
world a gold
new and in another and pure
untold

——-

is
there
a
"shut-down"
for
this
brain?

wondering
howitfeelstobejustamoundofflesh

inactive
   immobile
      unattached
         unaware
            disregarded
               neglected

but the soul…
ah, the soul!

the soul inside is a circus
   of bliss
      and doubtless attempts
         and clear, clear skies
             in the bluest blue of shade
