3 times
it is time
time to vanish
like silk
to float out
on the backs
of thirty or
forty nights
and pluck fruit
off the tree of
sixth sense.
-
it is time
time to accept
this indigenous
moment
when all
footholds
turn to pulp
time to drift
beyond our deep-
est curfews
ashes cannot
be practiced.
-
it is time
time to let
our roots
go blind;
it is time.
- Peter Schwartz
