Post Script




Postscript

If I write it's not to forward
anything in favour of life's advance
when I speak it's not a record
only the words dance
dutifully like Christmas decorations
you can only hang once

If I paint it's not a portrait
no face to put to every shining scar
criss-crossing the same landscape
wherever you are
shattering our memories like mirrors
whatever they're for

If I leave it is not for spring
or spirit afterthought returning to the trees
when I lie I won't be resting
underneath the shallow seas
nothing to explain besides a lifetime

or whatever that was
