The Green Mountain

A place in our hearts

Take a green fern
lay it on my arm

let coloured rain spatter
the leaf like an aerosol

peel back the green
for a brief natural tattoo

to beat the rhythm of the street

Acceptances

Gusts ask to be heard, rain seeps under our skin and seems to know our weaknesses, snow banks our going on, all request acceptance of how they are with us, all argue their place as permanent though their actions flit past, an instant of hurt, a moment of recognition makes a plea for a more permanent welcome at another time. “Accept me as I am,” they demand. We weigh the damage and consequences, a decision must be made and agreed.

Minimal

map a bruise a collision, observable knowable. Your dark energy pushes apart your dark matter fingers into unknowable for now. Infinite minimal puts a roof on your house, food in your mouth, safe ground you must find risks on its edges. Push the envelope open to extract the message if you can read it.

My Label

can be seen by everyone. It is a fashion statement. My wife, I think it is her, although her face is not familiar has sewn my name into my clothes so if they get mixed up with the clothes of others in the home then they know which are mine. It is also a good reminder to me that she loves me and mothers me, though sometimes she seems unfamiliar, and I have to ask her who she is. She ought to be labelled so I know. Its so much easier when you know.
