untitled: stumbling… (poem)

stumbling in the truth of wine
I see this ocean and these islands
oceans of space
vast around the eyelet
people
isolates

we are illusion
not concrete
these concretions of stumbling startling feelings.
flux
catch me a concept
show me it is more than a tune

untitled: my friend’s dear friend

my friend’s dear friend
now we meet a year later
and we’ve a few words
an embrace to greet

middle of the night poem

middle of the night poem
 
I don’t know how much longer is left
we’ll probably go together
remnants slipping into oblivion
walking down the meadow path
I stumbled on oh I forget
is a lea a meadow?
 
down by the pond
there are flowers left in remembrance
an honouring
they’ve been there a week
they’re tattering
and these words
they have no impact
they have no interest
