when moving
may there become here
and more than that
may all of the many others come in,
time encrusted and belching chasms of then, if and what!
may we be close up and at great distances
simultaneously
drinking
the textures of time and the land
and there
moving against our hands or our great kinosphere of
direction
may the feel of dune grass and marsh moss
touch us
may our planetary paws grasp the stillness of the beetle
and the flux of stars
at the same time
may seafoam riders respond to each eye adjustment
with plumes of destinations
to welcome our feet
may the lights welcome our feet and the foot of our vision
a vast snail foot sensitive to the coming and the going
may speed come to us as a cloak
may obstacles become textures and landscapes
as we dive from the small into the big
may the land open to us as we come
may the city turret up its lights into the veins of our ships
declaring feasting weeks and open streets
may the sad lands touch us and the joking mountains,
may they touch us so that we know the passing sea bed
and the galloping horses
may the gift be given and the time be given
in huge creamy slices topped with queenly chunks of tactile worms
may the lids blow off the depot walls
and the store rooms burst like spitting fruit as we pass by
the grains collecting in the lines about our eyes
may we pass by carried in the rivers,
the songs elbowing on the shores
crammed
with erupting call birds flung in our wake
may we catch each song in our teeth
and let the juice run down our necks
as we pass by
knowing and having and letting go
all at the same time
may the wind change everything
may our insides be laid out as the road and the motorway
may our sorrows grow into the forests we skim through
injecting the ghosts, healthy and knowing
with the great passing
our need is to move and change
and blossom into this and with and us
and gulp
the swirling sea
may movement come to us and carry us over and through
what has been hidden
may we journey into what has been hidden
renewing our ships and trains and glimmering bodies
with ships and trains and glimmering bodies
may that take us into the still tide
may we pass by thundering
may we know what is being taken and who and what we pass
may the giants know us in flight
and as the sun moves
may we move out into the glowing plains
may all the knots loosen on our speeding
and take us knowingly
distributed out and out and out
