T.V.

The T.V.'s on

it makes a noise

I don't want noise

I turn it off

but all the T.V.s

around the world

are still switched on

and making noise

I want to switch off

every one

I want to end the noise

I want T.V. switched off

Error

Sorry

another poem was meant to be written

but the mind was not functioning

Normal service

Worlds

world in front

does not exist

world behind

does not exist

world right here

that's where I am

Rain

the rain falls

as water from my tap

always purified

always purifying

the rain falls

Heaven as liquid

Footprints

footprints on the patio

a ghost has been here

the self I once was

fingerprints on the fridge door

a hungry ghost

the self I never was

imprints on the book cover

the ghost of a ghost

the author I never knew

And if

and if perhaps

you and I

could sail away

we could salvage

for all time

this sacred day

Time yet (for Maria and David)

There is time yet

to conquer time

time yet

to say goodbye

time yet

to face the monsters

time yet

to say hello

time yet

for you and I

time yet

to hold you dearly

time yet

to worship time
