Pointers for CV

I don't see the need
To be through with this book too quickly
The story is centuries old
It has been a long, long time, in the writing

Heavy yet light
With evidence of thorough research
I will then also take my time, a decision I aim at
For increasing the longevity of my pleasure

I have had similar books before
Then I was like a man dying of thirst
I drank hard at the experiential words
Gave them sparse opportunity to enter my soul
No thoughts honed for further, or deeper reflection

The subject is Netsuke & the collecting thereof
You might care to find background information
Already you may be knowledgeable in this matter

I have had the idea to use one sublime short passage
To attract someones attention; such that he may
Exaggerate the variety of approaches he uses
Whilst preparing his curriculum vitae

Tip Over

Into the absence
Among old scouts
With mysterious shadows
& half forgotten melodies

Sink or settle or rise
Laugh out loud
Not so loud or out
Of control that suspicions
Are thus aroused

Move into the absence
Among found objects
With interior whispers
Woebegone tragedies

Blink or fettle or cries
Of dried out tears
Not of fear or so out
Of control that beauticians
Are open bloused

Though deep in the absence
Among feint shouts
With ulterior highlights
No less a rotten ego roused

Aux Naturelle

Watch the May time meadow grass
Watch the breeze cause the rustle to pass
Watch the suns existence lead it to bend and bow
Watch the pixels force-frame, a weathered afterglow

Choral

That centre
If to be found
With resonance
Will, as water falls
Bounce & rebound

That kernel
Of open ground
With plain song
Will, as clouds climb
Silence all other sound

Except if it is to be lost in love
A cost thus borne least pleasant of
Except in that dead as dark as night
A target torn, astride the wingless flight

Relate

Cream, cloth covered chair
Wait, wait there
By the pebbles
By the doorway to the stair

Burnt beige, broken bare
Stay, stay where
Stay where winters winds
Lead the call for care
