bookshelf

snapshotting what is important 
learns many about the now 
learns many about home and of food and of distraction 
the existential 
the existential 
the existential 
then 
warm potato
a film in another language 
a text message about a hard day 
a record left rolling into sex 
i stand the grandest and smallest of stages
and let everything else hum quietly 
and let everything else curdle strangely to fit this
which means 
you say we will buy seeds on the weekend 
a garden starts like a fire 
starts well after fire 
be’s bothered 
is concerned 
calls family 
has time to sit and remember calmly 
rather than quickly which is tension which is trauma which is habitual 
really local 
entering into the safe and closing from within 
finally 
it is singing in the underground 
howling and the real rhythm 
and rhythm is ocean and music and living and holding
it is soil
which is human
it is our own personal god
on the bookshelf not yet up 
but hoping 
after years of neglect
to one day be up
