Limbo II
LIMBO II
Swing ‘twixt hope and fear
Unending uncertainty
Our sole companion
Sweating like limbo dancers
Watching the lowering pole
The Get-together
THE GET-TOGETHER
Meet your family.
Here is your brother Andyet;
Your sister Maybe.
Your cousin Alltheanswers’s
Not here yet. Her plane’s delayed.
Gambolling Gamblers
GAMBOLLING GAMBLERS
Life a deck of cards
Unsure no one marked the cards
We shuffle and deal
Shysters and diehards
Trampled, embittered and scarred
Still we share the meal
The Bird And The Wanderer (A Shadorma)
THE BIRD AND THE WANDERER (A Shadorma)
Hark that bird
Perched for a moment
Serenade
Could it be
Me he sweetly addresses?
Will he call once more?
Hold my breath
Release it again
Sigh, walk on
Down the path
Stride after stride unfolding
An unsure future
Overreaching Oneself
OVERREACHING ONESELF
“I” think “I” know, yet
It’s mostly conjecture and
Imagination
So I tried out “We” then “You”
But then “I” says much the same
Vincent’s Brother’s Brother
VINCENT’S BROTHER’S BROTHER
Are you also one
I wonder who are unknown
Until they are gone?
