WOOD
my thought needs substance
crouched supplicant
to our hearthmind
you can’t light my coal with paper
my wood layer is for coal
as my paper is for wood
layer on my paper
small pieces of wood (kindling)
watch for splinters embedding
in fingers for pain all day
or a heated steel pin to remove.
with care
make a wooden-pallet
a raft of images
on balled up paperwaves
to support the coal
so my imagination flares
as it it burns to speak
You pray the raft will hold
criss-cross the wood
a cohesive structure
your making of my fireplace,
my head is layered
geology reversed
as paper from trees
dead trees made coal
graduations of image,
thought and idea
When your paper is gone
the raftprayer to hold stays
a mixture of thick and thin
considerations
thin ideas burn easily produce heat,
thick sustains in depth
delights the imaginations coal
WOOD without pronouns
thought needs substance
crouched supplicant
to our hearthmind
can’t light coal with paper
wood layer is for coal
as paper is for wood
layer paper
small pieces of wood (kindling)
watch for splinters embedding
in fingers for pain all day
or a heated steel pin to remove.
with care
make a wooden-pallet
a raft of images
on balled up paperwaves
to support the coal
so imagination flares
as it it burns to speak
pray the raft will hold
criss-cross the wood
a cohesive structure
making of fireplace,
head is layered
geology reversed
as paper from trees
dead trees made coal
graduations of image,
thought and idea
When paper is gone
the raftprayer to hold stays
a mixture of thick and thin
considerations
thin ideas burn easily produce heat,
thick sustains in depth
delights the imaginations coal
