One Sublime Poem by Moe Seager

 

Perhaps

                                 

Morning gives to afternoon

Time to tuck away dreams, desire, inner being

Corporeal gravity of transparent routines, anemic rituals

Rain, Spring returns from exile

Sucks on Aprils nipples

 

Thunder claps, falling waters

Herd us against each other

Repelling most in hurried flight for home

Where we are absolutely safe

From nothing

Witness those drowning

In the empty vessels of themselves

 

Oh this day would be dull, boring

Were it not for the occasional flash

Of bright umbrellas

One, the colour red

To remind us 

We are

 

My umbrella is a tent

I a nomad

Wandering through this village

Not quite sure of how to conduct myself

 

By chance, design?

We come upon each other

Relief

The solitude of two

 

Too soon it is time

You must go

I shall wait

Beauty is stubborn

 

Perhaps it will rain tomorrow
