elusive quarry
let me show you the way
‘you’re going down’, the voice says
‘hahaha’ it goes
‘to prison?’ say I
‘hahaha, you’re going down', it says
it just says
go deep into the wood now,
deep within the silence and the sigh
of the branch and twig and snapped
stick, alerting the glimpse of
deer, surveying, moving slient away
- hart to my heart –
where the light slides like amber
brown-yellow sliding slowly
down leaf-mould and parasite clump,
brown, slow like singing amber, because time has slowed
or essence has grown whole and taken shape
let me show you the way,
you’re going deep now
another voice says
‘you’re going down – down deep – deep within
deep within and down and in’
swelling and priming for the
flow, the tinge of moment
let me show you the way
for now, you’ve, I’ve surfaced a demon
that demon that says you’re going down,
that demon’s outed,
and you find it shift from
flush with your skin of self
and ready to whimper -
ready to flush even? -
the start is in that
and now you will feel what is the best in you
like amber gliding down
the pores of green leaf
and find the other voice that has a
strong of heart
and a firm of mind
and know when to say no
and when yes – always the other of what
you or I have done to now
let me show you the way
and wait for you to
take my hand
and ride me in your longing
slient, calling
