the gods of mystery, pattern, and foolishness(
which is to say rain  are haunt ing  my

so much the loss)when completing
some long jour knee from       from
                         god ,      the sky--

Sometimes you have to freeze ,
before you can move like water again.

come apart, come together, this tiring non-duality(does
 it sicken you too , O my darling chickens wondering
for seed on the open eroadsion(meaning!less&!more) so in
sun  shine , chicken-less we  Find Out Who
sehandstheknifeisinnow, (by conservation, losing
a little bit of knowledge somewhere else in the brain--

life is rain . we , evaporating
                         off car hoods
                       , fumbling for our keys
      (some times finding them)

   ignition is an affront to life
               on all four cylinders ,
               at the four corners of the world ,
               across four seasons ,
                 with four winds bearing down--

  and be wary of those who see not the rain
     , lost as they are among their papers ,
         reams of unwilling victims of sap sacrifice
           no longer reveling in water but
           considered ruined if touched by it.

 our curse is that we see the ground & not
   the five minutes we have before it

 O heavy Future , fly off !

 i have to come down &
 then quiet these thirsty trees
