But Now
Our empty dishes
thrown out swollen heads
hunter and huntee is setting in
for a game and a full plate
Hope is revived by the pulse
of our swaying rhythm
rather soon than later in the day
and then again
bathing in the river
watched are the shores being washed
You start where i stopped
offer a sense in direction
where lost are the wishes
blown are the winds
our kin in flight
In transmutation we are hanged
and swayed into the novelty
straight honestly ironed
and solid sober
but yawned
Watched are the currents
washing the wishes
and our worn out thoughts
we’re not coming back to the same road
off with your precious stones
showers of fine dust
in time we die
but now ...
