fetish for gildings
by Jo Hallidaytaking a stone, have potshots at the stone,
or an iron ball. In grime and sweat,
find your being, and in aiming endlessly
keep your fire alive. Citing law,
hang men; crossing out the marks of chalk on trees,
burn the memories. Quoting the ever-flowing river
that gurgles past your words,
mock at the time and become its plaything. Forget,
a heart beats, a song sings, a moon comes and kisses the sea,
and love lives; forget, and write in bold to survive. 10/26/2010 Posted on 10/26/2010
