the chase

 

 

 

 

 

My sentences at night

 

sometimes are crossed out

 

then ramble off

 

ending in prepositions

 

 

 

they plead with

 

my solitary self

 

as I chase an idea

 

then they waver

 

and morph

 

 

 

never mistaken with timidity

 

 

 

the chase,

 

 

 

it is always after something wild

 

 

 

the chase,

 

 

 

then, it is private

 

out there 

 

wherever it goes

 

it visits unconscious and archaic places

 

seeking

 

always searching

 

in risk of getting bitten

 

 

 

now is a tough time for this poet

 

left with  perishing cadence

 

rhyme less lines that had briefly merged

 

stimulated by only one poem

 

 

 

here I am gazing at facades
in search of simple truths
still those
pontificated gestures move in behind me

 

all of those assembled echoes,

 


each one yearning for climax

 

those rhythms turned into dominions

 

with lessons imagined
 so how could I write this

 

with hand
and words

 

 

 

a lone voice self-confessing into the winds

 

of time

 

closing another wound

 

another want kept waiting

 

am I the color of dusk

 

that is  always chasing
and left in want of 
my summer moons

well thank you so much

a lovely comment from a lovely friend

I don't have the same inspiration to write anymore the words used to flow in torrents now they seem to be only trickles

I want to try to add something to my words

I want to try and have some kind of text with audio.

Where I recite selected poems from various artist.

I would love to do a reading of your "Cedar Trees"!

Anyway I am rambling on too much

Peace

Dylan
