Starting with an expression and letting it run - chasing daylight
We are losing daylight
Carry on, carry on
I've not yet chosen
Whether darkness
Lightens my load
Conversations
Float on air
Perhaps me to me
There is no right
Nor wrong
When you expertly debate
I'm on both sides
To defend and condemn
Myself
In this situation
Of loss of daylight
There's an urgency
That means I'm stranded
I need to choose the spot
Where I'll stop
Perhaps it's aging
Maybe wisdom
But I recognise something
In the half light
I've never assessed it all
Just made snap decisions
Valued forward travel
With daylight lost
I'll see what here looks like
Spend time a moment
With myself
Gauge tolerances
There may be more daylight
But it's not the worst thing
To feel your way forward
Or to stand still
Day light, day/night
Did I mishear
The concept of invention
A belief there is an invert of night
The Earth rattles sometimes
Almost, almost shook me loose
Almost is never
Because almost never tips
It's the non buttered side
The invert of morning
The presence and absence of toast
I almost explained it
In the never sense
Of chasing daylight
