Unfinished Road

 ( fr. The Tape Recordings  ·  An Incantation )





There is a road


there is a road


there is a road


there is a road 


a road and i'd say
if it were black

if it were mine

and say
if there were time 


There is a road    Blue Sky!


a road and blue sky
and once


there was time
time that had time

enough to hide


Time is time
here in a road that is not    Not Mine

In a tree in one dead limb
a dead tree 

its dead arm and the great nest
of a great bird   Now Gone


and the great gray pinnacle rising from it
