Word watching
A vision in words
while the heart beats
all pleasures possible
but who has lived
without fault
without regret
without recrimination
on the path that leads
over the blue hills
there is no time
just body
mere experience
nothing more local
than the soul
which is the point
of being
as I live
as I die
I am known by
my particulars
how can I distinguish
between the space
around me
and the inner space
of my mind
there where I feel pain
I feel love
and have no shell
no notional carapace
to protect me
I must be open to every storm
just as I would welcome
any word of kindness
all things are possible
all things are probable
and that includes love
