To See Or To Be Seen

The morning begins

With Gary Hume

A catalogue from

The Venice Biennale

Actually a couple

Of hours earlier

I took a shower

And shared Qi-Jong

In the garden

The library I now see

Is deliberately

Delicate

A window

With a blind

And curtains

Wire mesh

Has perhaps

Replaced

The glass

In the cupboard

Doors

Sound Or Vision

How far away

Do you need to be

Before I can

No longer hear you

Is it more

Or less

Than the distance

Of sight

Would either

Stretch

Be your choice

Or mine

Easement

The bell has not yet rung

But I’m here anyway

Oh, there it goes

Which means meditation starts

In ten minutes time

The heavy rain

Came on Tuesday afternoon

When Emma rang

And Dave said he can’t be arsed

To find out about Taylor Swift

Tomorrow

Will be a brighter day

With a change of socks

But for now

There has to be shelter

Yes, first thing

In the morning

Before

Anyone else jumps in

Or slips on the soap

Weather; here and there

It’s more than mist

It’s rain

It’s grey skies

But I don’t mind

I’m ok with that

I am indoors

But yes

I would happily

Stand outdoors

Perhaps not naked

But just bare enough

To remember

That bus-stop

On the way

To my children

Oh

I think it’s set in

For the day

Here And Now, There It Is Then

How quiet it is

How quiet are you

How warm it is

How warm are you

Pare it back

Go deeper

Explore then

Further than ever

I was ok

One to one

I even coped

With one more

How noisy it became

How noisy it was for you

How calm it is

How calm are you
