orgami's Diaryland Diary

double shelagh

writing
and failing
the words falling
short

i maintain my world
as this maintains
me

the lonliness comfort
in the single room
the shared kitchens
i attempted to live

the shared apartments
the shared lives
never quite mixing

the bike still leaning
against the wall

like ideals
like good intentions
the same sunlight
on a far fragment of
beachline

sober now six months
i think
since september
not counting other
items needed for the
back of worn and tear
the shoulder issue

the lives of overs
overlapping like waves
and this music

always the background
backdrop of music
lulling and murmuring
like the storm beyond
the curtian
the sheet hung on my
window...
i forgo the slatted pvc
curtians

i like fabric
i like the magic of sheets
in the wind
movement
in the still times spent
here

not in movement
on the main floor
down the stairs
the short hall

the main floor
with its coffee pot
and television
the backyard with short
dog lead

the dog walks
in nicer weather

forgo the cold
the rains
the wet sinking snow
compacting as it
leaves

the bus runs watching
the hill..the horizon
flickering past the
power poles..the little
factory..the tall apartments
standing like procession
monuments

the bus bell on a wire
and deisel engine idling
at its stops
the brakes
the momentum
the clamor
the beauty

the emptiness
i enjoy
these passages
between missions
and the dreamtime
i sometimes
often put aside
