Will I ever rest
or is asking the question
proof that
I won’t
*
I tried to write
a poem that would
introduce myself in such a way
that would make you feel
as though you had always known me
and I you
and this was just a connection
after always
like another geese that takes the same
wild path as all the others
honking and calling
to echoes and friends
and me down below
who is calling to you
to look up and see
a bit of me
in each geese
that leaves and comes back
all the way to you
if you look again
the next season
when another geese like me
will fly
but I couldn’t for you
don’t like the way a geese sounds
*
Listen to yourself only
and even then
question all
for it has come from you
and others have been known to be
better listeners
