Belief

a new poem, in the same series as "Urgent Meadows"

Belief

<<Fancy flair>> in a word // what I see
when I close my eyes
or else -> hanging in (silent paroxysm)
clockwise -> always clockwise
a (tiny mistake) that slips through [essential cracks].

One line is a lie
clockwise is a lie
other lines are lies //
lies whom I can not know.

Steppenwolf knew all the twisting ->
(fleeting forms)
and dismissed them <<heart-wrenchingly>>
and carved -> |Goodbye!|
on all the (slipping spindles) that I can't reach.

Sleep in a field
step softly in a field
dance in a <<rain-clown>>
but do not roll in shit.

Gra.du.al.ly there grew -> turbine turning like
a barber's pole in the wind //
(faultless fruit) of clean
guiltless decision-making imbued with [wide-eyed
stir-fried] (weary calm) ->buhbam! ------a meaning.
