Two for One

Task

 Somehow get a sample of that light.

Maybe hold on tight while a hotair balloon hauls you and a bucket up,--- up up.

Don't wait until it cools, pour it all over that last remaining shadow you've seen in your dreams.

Always

Without the somethings,

the stumbles and the miss-steps,

this life would be easier,

but we would fall asleep from boredom

instead of blissful exhaustion.

Veil

As you steel yourself enough


to head out in this deep unknown,

remember,

this unknown is correctly dressed;

it's those sunny days

(just as mysterious)

which are in masquerade.

Bifurcation

Try to believe two things:

that today is like all other days

 and it's not like any other.



Right both times and at once.

Always Problems

The weekend substitute Sun is late.

She got caught on the throughway between this Universe

and the one where she works her dayjob

as one of the nine flaming moons

around the planet, Goethe.

She called

And now....the weather

Someone can love someone else more than they'll ever know? No.


That someone else, if it's me, if it's you, knows.

It's supposed to rain today after midnight.

Onward to (B)



Select any point (A) on the rising angle of your existence.

Follow the upward line with your eyes and breath.

Don't rush.

You've time.

It reaches to infinity.

Evaporation

I put yesterday on the counter
right next to where I hang my house keys.
It was right there where I left it an hour later,
holding down the grocery list
and the reminder about the birthday cards,
then I went to the window
to see if it was raining
and when I turned around,
it was today.

Soiree

The sky, with silver highlights in her hair, sips her tea and waits for the party that is today to begin.
 
 Pass the sugar.

What we keep in mind

The mind must remember that there is a bottle of capers in the fridge,
 that Tuesday next our appointment is now at 9:20,
that the sun is really out there warming us up.


The heart has the harder task:
to remember that love is here,
sometimes just as hard to see as the capers or the sun,
but here.
