True North

 And to think there must be a source

 left unaware and responsible 

besides, who else, with the string of clouds

moves towards intermission.

It is time for us to be together

 to go to the screen.

 To get caught up 

in the fullness of the day.

No more to reckon 

in the empty house of Romantics.

One surveys the land and finds the grass

 is much taller over there.

 That this very afternoon is hot enough

 to muffle the exchanges

 between the wildflowers.,

 One stands for something,

each other,

at least something living.

To wait for the light 

to pass on into berries.

Or each time a hard aim

to open the book  

to the same page

the same passage and to send

only its strange encouragements.

The Current Stare of Affairs

It was a sound  way off on the green lawn A bank of birds A signature somewhere Like any line Might be my last I walked by the panzer tank  ...
