errands
so much of my life isn't it
it's an abstract thing i know
but when i think about life
when it comes to me
i see a giant sapped tree
aching with its weight
moving towards sunlight
moving in any direction it glows
spreading wide its root fins
all limbs, no brain
not much in my life seems anagalous
short breathed,
lips like raisins
shoulders squenched in as if someone has pulled
the threads of the muscles to tightly
puttering, muttering
crossing out lists
and writing down more
watching the clock make a circle
what am i planning for?
who am i cleaning for?
the crumbs, the stuff around the drain
moving around stacks of things as if they were game pieces
tomorrow the drain will have bits in it
tomorrow there will be dishes in the sink again
there will be errands to run
but where is the living?
where is the blood melt
the throbbing or shining
when does it pay off?
