Mantra at an Angle



   
Going out to meet the day sideways,

its ghosts and fates running in the field,

childlike with their tresses sunlit in the breaks

between the organizing clouds, instructing me.


Words could be a way to keep yourself unbroken,

poetry the only way to keep an angle to the world.

I say them then to the wind that smells of rain,

More me here now alive.

More me here now alive.
