GRAINS OF SAND


 
 
 
 
 
Mid-life discoveries

Anthropologically, sociologically born and bred words
aborigenae made in grains of sand
we, the virtual ones, who think we know to live to talk and write about it.

So, in celebration of us, the ones who think we virtually know:

 
The 1/2 understood gestures
the day in between
the slight of light
when we could no longer chase the wind like
floats of paper origami trained in flight
then soaked in spilled milk 
          collapsed castles
water thread of lifeline
trickle
weaved at the edge
of what we usually call madness

point by point
almost to the other side

the 1/2 understood gestures
those are the ones with enough nose,
enough of an attitude
the ones who will, contrary to some beliefs
word forbid
the ones who will inherit the earth

like in a song of improviso
the point by point
the stitches
the grains of sand
the impressions
the angles 
the 1/2 understood words
