bright and brave/no frontiers
everything expands with age
Turn around-ghosts(gone
taking part of our lives with them
(you can only talk to the living
and even then only partially
Now instead of inventory missing
counting those still living
The world's burden lifted by Atlas
Tantalus rolls stones and rocks back and forth
What is most obvious awaits us-
what is in front of us-each day's doings
every moment's shining choices
Here is your voice.Sing,chant,pray,
swear,shout,defame-your choice
only exists while you are with us
Resonance exists after you leave
We remember/grieve/forget/move on
to those daily doings demanding
our immediate attention
on 1/1/11
Remembering our poetic ancestors-those alive in skin and dreaming...
