I'm nowhere/   an unknown somewhere  where


-my attempts
for location, a wordless  elocution - a lament
in
silence to let image, solid and only of the world -enter the eye
to take my heart from this, left bereft
and fatherless


( that now I must . . .


in the face of it see a bit of a joke. 
in our practical conerns.


"check my mutual funds."

.

legacy almost
wordless ( that day you
on the river in the rain at that point where I thought
this is miserable

you said

it's allright with me.


so I take the rain / my future 
without you

.

"thanks for coming"

I sd goodbye twice without looking

the phone to you rang ...

you died

and I came into this world again, a strange 
and conscious birth

without word, without road

without a father.
