FIVE STANZAS (meditating)







STANZA I


The ducks there are did like
How I like them all.
But I will never know a duck
Or how a duck at all.




STANZA II


They may be responsive
But  not in the way you desire:
So many, so many, so many
Things left to discover, to explain.




            STANZA III


In process, in memory,
All things told but not heard once.
No one feels the grape on the toe
Or the opportunity that fosters a
Further one. That which is planned,
Sealed by the stars as an exile once
Dreamed of yet starkly shook by its
Very embrace. Plainly mine, a chance.
As often they speak what which made
Them. All or not at all alike, likely alone.



STANZA IV


I meant to wish to go there along with
All my wishes and wants and whatnots.




STANZA V


It is not easy to grow more un-
Easy, even while practicing the craft
Of a betterment of temperament. The
False things always seem right, as right
As a left-handed letter writer can be.
They will always will the crowd towards
Coupling, a still minor fraction of what we
Always call words. Do you do or do you not
Do, or do you sometimes do and other times
Not do? Not what the could have left to be a
Do or not do? A typical arrangement? A possible
Burden on the done and not done already done,
We speak our cares that carry our worry in our
Sacks like how we like them to be, hidden, yet

Wholly open and available because we are, also, too.
