yes you

as the words flow like blood like tears
life words lifeblood life tears
then so do the pictures of them of you
and the rain did not wash the air or land
of this or that or then or now
how could it
how might it
why should it
for they for you for this
couldn’t be
could never be
could ever be
washed away diluted diminished
all there is is they is you is this
as the words flow like blood like tears
the words are this are they are you
yes this yes they yes you
yes you

again

exhale such words to become the air
and be surreptitiously everywhere
once breathed, are the very time and space
that put each moment into its place
if you can bother
here comes another
fitting tightly in the box that Pandora kept
but others would open, then wept
for the truth of it remains
as it runs slowly through your veins
here is now and when
forever could be here again
