Sometimes the rain comes
Phantoms smudge the air
Today will have no shadow

Life swings forward, swooping under

Phantoms smudge the air
Life swings forward, swooping under
This thing we think of as a moment
We cannot always have

Eyes bright, keen as agates
Down the shining barrel of the day
Birds whirl, a leaf falls

A garden of full of promise

Down the shining barrel of the day
A garden full of promise.

Tomorrow may be nothing

But an ache between the ribs

Down the shining barrel of the day
A garden full of promise.

@suelli OK, here goes:

How long the way
Since we first met?
I count the days
Since that sunset.

Since we first met
I cry your name,
Since that sunset
I'm not the same.

I cry your name
I should leave now,
I'm not the same
I don't know how.

I should leave now
How long the way?
I don't know how,
I count the days.

#Pantoum Shaken

Go before your mind moves.
Before you act
Before you talk
Before you trip or fall.
 
People look at their phones
The time, though splintered
Still matters
Intensity is important.

Let your body know
This is not a soft moment
Not the kind a clock keeps
Before you trip or fall.

This moment is a place
A small thing
Where everything waits
And chaos begins

In a grain of sand.
