The day of turning
The day of turning
Sunday
The day from which
I turn to face
My week
:- Doug.

The clearing is in the wood
The wood is in the landscape
The land is surrounded by waters
This wet globule is in the galaxy
And all this and more
And you
Sharing the necessity
Of accepting
This the the place and time we are
:- Doug.
A new sheet of paper
Takes from view
Yesterday’s poems
But not how they stitch your life
Still nor the universe as well
The fabric does not need to remember
Its weave
:- Doug.
