yes.

in the clearing
in the morning
is where i find myself

never you mind,
she says, her hands dusted with flour
and tanned from the sun
never you mind where you came from,
'cause today is the only thing that you know
and you're in it
and that is all.

too grave thoughts

when too grave thoughts
fill me

let a laughing moment
be my breathing
let a warm-ish winter
wind blow through me

when too grave thoughts
are under me

let the crush of autumn
fetch a memory
let the idle noise of
night bring "still" to me

try

in the grey
of sunday afternoon
you do not try

i observe from within my
dawdling dowdy fall clothes

i need a proper coat
i'm stuck in myself again
and you do not see me

i could let you
but don't have the energy
