King Crimson, “Eyes Wide Open” dvd, circa 2003

outside

goldfishoutside

there is a stone

the color of the evening sky

it disappears into the night

as the sound of rain

stretches into the future

a bird

a heron is fishing for his dinner

seeing through reflections

brighter than he is

for that sustaining pulse

the heartbeat

that feeds the stomach

the surgeon of the night sky

restores dead things

with the power of sound



green and purple, other

A tale of green and purple
of growth and decay
pulsing and turning in darkness
becoming all that is
transforming into dust
the heart’s yearnings
stormy movements of heaven and earth
touching all too briefly
a flash of light
a drop of water
and then a season of ice
we forget …

With hands most guided, seldom letting go

seldom with abandon to the other

We rarely visited

that place in-between where there is neither me nor you

where some other light shines through

and bathes us in its glow

That is where it wanted us to go.
