the flow defies

the flow defies

ground
is a given of
biology

(and never still)

reflected in
the prism

of thought

(the colours
of the world)

awareness

a fact of
the animal

a fact of
the dirt

complexity

is only in
reflection

as simple as

the stars in a lake

or

a lake in the stars

flying

there is no fixture
to the heart

(so the joy and tragedy
of the young)

and thought

time cuts to pieces

as if there is a place
and date

even so

you can step back
with a breath

beyond
the illusion of
particularity

(the world divided
thus)

and watch

at the interface of

reflection
and reflected

there is no definition
no self

only light

the point
at the centre

of the flow



(c) greg. t. charlton. 2007.

the embrace
is permanent

though
the shadows
walk away

to brightness

only the change
of frame

is left

in the glare
of daylight

the hard fracture

the iron punch stamp
of space / time

repeats
repeats

(mindless)

brutality

is deafening

and so the colours
of the world

and its motion
in planets

wind

eyes

and limb
