EchoBy OneThumb
Find your way out
no doubt
or in
again begin
Spaces wait
faced
in the dark
no waste
Were there
was here
was
always near
Sit down to see
be quiet be
friend
the end
The RoadBy OneThumb
Whatever was else or less
or more or even
the sinister prospect
of nothing left,
not this was anticipated,
that there would be no one
even to speak of it.
Because all had passed over
to wherever they go.
Into the fiery furnace
to be burned to ash.
Into the ground,
into mouldering skin and bone
with mind the transient guest,
with the physical again dominant
in the dead flesh under the stones.
Was this the loved hand, the
mortal "hand still capable of grasping..?"
Who could speak
to make death listen?
One grows older,
gets closer.
It's a long way home,
this last walking.
For QuintellaBy OneThumb
He comes, she comes carrying, carrying......
A flower, an intense interest, a color......
Curious placed in a outer, an inner.........
Ring of rounded spaces, spaces of color.....
Looked this was, they say, it was here......
And there--it was--it opened, opened doors..
It, see itself seen faithful to echo........
More than all or was the green seeming......
Back of it fragile shoots the way it was....
Yellow, banded together zigzagged across....
As a box, for it wants to touch...touches...
Opens at the edges...a flower in a bowl.....
