Kit Kelen #11 - heart (for and after Kerri Shying, following the bulbul)


11
heart

for Kerri Shying, following the bulbul
https://conversationinpoetry.blogspot.com.au/2018/02/kerri-shying-3-and-bulbul-means-heart.html



on the upbeat
on the down

heart means country

take it to here

hello
with first thing
from the dream

for magic
there's no further journey

here in all the years at home
yet found

a swirl of world
knocks it about

up trill
must be a birdsworth

it's long since we agreed to this
and always sniffing out
you'll follow

sit, heart
beg
give me your hand

nestle in chumpup
tummy for rub

brave as brief
these are words from
up above the mud so high
you neither see nor feel the lice

you won't find crossings out

we breathe again
and it's this country
mattock shaped
and hammer, saw

it's we who stood it up
no one scratched the land before

I was always here

you're the pill
dissolved in it

sun shines from this
other stars

catch each as it falls
by heart

peace upon the given thing

it's all of us reaching
all of us trapped
in here
