Being and Thyme
I too was young like you
Once
Now I’m only good for barbecue
I was
Weathered by the winds of time
World weary
The glow of youth has gone
But
A pepper is a pepper is a pepper
Now
Skin leathery or crisp
I
Bring flavour with equal satisfaction
See
When we’re all in the same pot
Life itself.
Prophetic Desolation
When the world is stripped of uses
tomorrow wake and find
a fate with no excuses
a past you can’t rewind.
Forget those lapping waters
that island in your mind
for ignorance is golden
(but resale value is unkind).
Breathe in dust
Skin, nails, rust
stagger on
remember us.
You did just what
you had to do
you could do no other
you you you.
And nothing
More
And nothing
Less
And silence in the wilderness.
Is this the end?
(this is the start)
this act’s unwritten
live your part.
Not so much
I wouldn’t really call that “lots”. It’s only, how many, thirteen? I guess it depends if you’re counting sultanas or elephants. Stones or diamonds. Apostles or pillars of salt…
