Hold it still
hold it will you
shield me from
the world?
Most would build
build a building
Me?
I'll dig
the hole
I've fooled you once
assumed I was
the kind
kind king's
would clone
Made numerous
students of
the "I" in:
"I don't know"
Hold it still
hold it here
between my heart
and brain
Mow the field
mow the weeds
while every flower
pays
How luminous
the newness of
the mind in
mindless mode
Now prove to us
this pseudo stuff
will buy time from
below
If only there's
a séance set
or Ouija board,
to reach the dead
as I grow old,
at least I'll know
he's there
If only there's
a sequence known
for breeze through boughs
and bees in combs
as I grow old,
I lose my hold
on faith
If only there's
a meaning for
the need to run
and the need to love
as I grow old,
no one's told me:
Stay
If only there's
a payment, fee
for what they said
and did to me
as I grow old,
I can't feel owed
this way
