shifting
to appreciate
that the biography of reaching for
ideal-which-solves-all-pointlessness
like a crane perched on the end
of an impossibly high arch
of a crumbling viaduct
is a choke and misery of futility
which has failed to feel and breathe
the evanescence and vacuity
the shift and eddy
the warp and weft
the agenda and guile
the heroism and betrayal
the role and the rock
the pitch and the bounce
the echo and fog
the soon and never
of all that happens
even though I saw it was there
all along
– why didn’t I listen? –
let go
let – it – all – go
I won’t have lost anything
‘hadn’t found anything
‘hadn’t made anything
‘hadn’t become anything
at all in all that endeavour
but disappointment
and
joyously
dance
do
the shift and eddy
the warp and weft
the plan and relieve
the strive and submit
the rock and roll
the lead and turn
the hear and shift
the assent and acknowledge
be so thoroughly
tapestried crocheted webbed velcroed into
the futility of it all
not detached
that the very adversity
becomes the still spot of the centre
home at last

crane & viaduct wormhole: vision
dancing wormhole: ‘radar-blinking …’
fog wormhole: sit
letting go & talking to myself wormhole: I do
pointlessness wormhole: wrong
speech wormhole: all
stillness wormhole: Stay with that.
This is some damn fine work my friend…

I’ll be honest…It’s like navigating a minefield, you have stuff buried pretty deep; but I guess that makes it more fun
