I still look for you on the
shelves and by the way
head tilted to one side
feeling in the shadows
under foliage between
stems for something lost
shining darkly red
pushing up through
purple earth – fold of
blue shadow – I knew
you’d be here somewhere
without remembering
where I’d let you go,
mutated through cycle
as wax will wane; and
I know when I find you
I’ll notice the glow
where it shouldn’t be
obvious when discovered –
I knew it! – but now
my daylight groping is
done; I have found no
ground to stand on
I must let you go again,
my friends, and face
the only task … alone
I could track back
through centuries of
millennia and tectonic
inch and breathe the
same air, amid forming
civilisations, the only
air replenishable, as
the man who strolled
through parklands and
birdcall, all possible
echoes collapsed, and
I could breathe that
same heir both in and
out with diminishing
return dispersing the
hanging proliferation of
ténèbres hautes and
redoubtable as they may
seem, as known as I
am not, with all love released

Ah, and there’s that tag, “anatta”.
I was just considering the reviving and revision of piece that I came across in my files, and
well, this un-settles it!

Hmmmeant:
“Who was.”
Period. Yes.
A statement,
not a question.
Identity theft
protection?
No need. No
desire. No
want-ing for
no-thing or
any-thing.
Stuck in
the round-
