Otherness

rollings

like a cat climbing up both sides of the fence
was it like this the last time
bordering up to jewels, changing everything
itsn 't that better?
isn't it ungraceful the glare of sun on itchy eyes and tighter clothes
bright and tight and clawing
I said clothing
will I find you like this when i go there again
you know
that spot far from ordinary on a ceramic garden ripe with grapes and fiddles
the middle of round but so thick that it's off center
like the center of grapes and the way wrath they squirt
Part V
I'm sorry when you are feel this way
I want you where I once was
(and that time I was standing and wearing jeans, remember?)
I just happen to ignore the beginning because introductions don't take you to what you already want warmly
like
the ring where within you is also your fire
turning to you I like glow, I like science
excellent like crackling silence
fan of the new to old to familiar brand new
how unlucky haunted turns to where you've never been
to anchored like songs
when they've out of nowhere present themselves
not trying to pin it down but
I made a birdbath out of myself for you
.
without you
every night would be lonely even with stars
and lonely it means a long time
and every song would have me beating the ground spreading the air looking
for and so

it's not an easy life
not the wooden dream from start to toll with bells, swings, petals, gates, silk, or fine pens
this is not the start it has no end
vulnerable like october
not necessary to bring the cat in
