a different place

a different place
a different space
in the timeline, i
slip and slide
forward and
get it out
in words,
looking in-
ward to ward
off the upwards
momentum of falling
toward outer space, of
falling off the planet but i
am in a different place, i
am a different man, i am
the same man in a different
spot of time so changed a
little but still the same man
at heart maybe
wiser hopefully
not as foolhardy
or hardly able to
see through the

math of the moon

and the math
of the moon
made the
mood of
the room
seem like
swooning
is swimming
in the reality of
dreams and the
beams of the found-
ation of this house, of
this building we build -

out back counting stars

out back
counting
stars, lying
back on a
swing,
staring
up -
trying to
stir feelings
of being afloat
on the open sea
in a dinghy perhaps,
just a rucksack to
take short naps.

the metal bar
holding the
swing takes
away from
the illusion
a bit, but
the
rocking
motion
slight back
and forth...

time spin

kpaul.mallasch — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:47:42 -0600

and the world
continues to spin.

intense feelings
dull, get weaker.

the solitude was
palatable in the
rooms - the way
he walked thru
them.

and time is a funny
concept maybe.
unrelenting
moments
slipping
forward.

marooned
on the moon
in june, the hero,
or hapless space-
poet, ponders with
perplexing propensity
continuing sending
messages to the
universe at large
and calling it
poetry.

tending the moon

early morn-
ing and i
can't sleep
(again locked
in thoughts for
long periods -
cosmo some
-one called
me once - and
in these thoughts
i get lost and stay
awake for many
hours at a time
and then sleep
with schedule
so messed
up again)
