The HitchhikerTell them you came & saw & lookedinto my eyes, & saw the shadow of the guard receding Thoughts in time & out of season The hitchhiker stood by the side of the road & levelled his thumb in the calm calculus of reason (and then a car passes) Why does my mind circle around you Why do planets wonder what it would be like to be you All your soft wild promises were words Birds, endlessly in flight Your dog is still lost in the frozen woods or he would run to you How can he run to you Lunging w/blooded sickness on the snow He's still sniffing gates & searching Strangers for your smell which he remembers very well Is there a moon in your window Is madness laughing Can you still run down beach rocks bed below without him? |
