Haunting The Boundary

 

from your uncharted expanse
birds sing
I have ventured 
to assume their meaning
and as far as the eye can see
I have a mind to people hidden lanes 
with numberless thoughts on each leaf

come from your unread expanse
parachute into my formal garden 
even
appear behind me like an emerging mole
I am reflecting upon your stillness
musing on the foreign tongue

aim at last from your discrete expanse
bright darts to pierce dismal custom
expelled opinion and airs
but trust to my unarmed appearance
here alone to find common ground
mightily the elements sweep us
closer
