Kartage

burned burden wheel
this toil under the blister sun
exposure always meted permanance
this shower shedding periphery ray

remember the golden moments
whose smiles worth bought freedom
from the wrath of wraiths
cyclonic tunnel syndrome
hurling hurts like sycthes runs

and when winter comes
and dreams awake from their
cool keep
I shall be patient
tolerant for their plaintive
enquiries into my denizen
collaborations

There is a faded photograph
pressed between passages
of favourite paragraphs
you fit there like the slim
light of dusk
the earth leaning
the stars meaning
set in patterned charm
