If I could open my mind the way a raindrop

If I could open my mind the way a raindrop opens itself onto ground.
There is the boundless sky that a bird finds itself in.
There is the confine of a garden when the bird is taken by the cat.
Surrounded by beautiful flowers the bird’s death is at the edge
of the boundless sky.
There are raindrops that fall on everything
that have no shelter.

look

I look at you because
that is how I interpret
love to be
something beautiful

prayer

I leave the prayer open

like SETI

searching the cosmos

the quiet God

too big

to be seen

too immense

to be noticed

my ears

alert

for wonderment

my hands clasp

the darkness

where no light

my fingers build

a Temple

pavement

concussion of alcohol

redemption
is a white cloud
floating over
a willow pavement

leaves
stroke the ground
like a priest
the same old sin
leaving welt marks
the prison bars
on skin

birds sing here
their joyful song
as if to be healthy
was something
to be happy of

now the tailors of wealth
are leaving their mansions
they drive away in limousines
to what conglomerates
maintain the elegance

what am I to tell them
if they were to ask
what were the clouds like
today

spaces

I sit on the back step
with my pumpkins
thinking of women
who have left
spaces in my heart
that I may frame
for windows

tell

12 July 2010

should it rain?
the sky does not ask me
nor permit me to answer
but I would like to tell it
that when I look into its grey landscape
I am quietly astounded
I may well be a cold bird shivering
in its brown feathers

glutton

David — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:55:08 +0000

I am a dog baying
at the half moon
if the moon were full
I’d be glutton

go to the fridge
take what is in it

everything
is winter

make a noose
paint it

in Spring

when everything
renews

smile at it
too
