reassessing

If the application of force
more or less never suits a scene
maybe the time is nigh to run
a poetic inventory.
A heavy fog blankets the old

playground where abstraction ran free
to the point the sense is of mist
leaving little but memory
which is itself like a footnote
as though it was always a fad,

forgetting how sweet was the taste
of the freedom to dive or fly
towards no given goal; flight, float,
good enough reason but not good
enough of a reason for force.

About Mountainside Musings & stuff

I enjoy thinking & writing & doodling & photography & music and if someone out there gets even a morsel of pleasure from my makings, well that's just an extra cherry for me.
