CONSEQUENTIAL EVIDENCE


 so naked in my hunger
 
     for that i know
 
but do not live
 
     for all my seeds
 
of passion
 
     never sown  reaped
 
nor fulfilled
 
     for all the still born
 
dreams  undone
 
     ive brought into
 
this world
 
     for all my misspent
 
good intentions
 
     years of fallow  
 
love  unshared
 
     for all the words
 
ive written
 
     in these slippery
 
language spills
 
     only fleeting shadows
 
ghostly whispered glimpses
 
     oblique impressions
 
captured here
 
     whether ever
 
to be read
 
     much less understood
 
perhaps only silent
 
     ripples  left to mirror
 
to faintly echo
 
     some essence of
 
inner mystery  within
 
     this mystery that i am
 
expressed in all this
 
     rambling  run off inkage
 
purged from open pen in hand
 
     released from somewhere  
 
else within  even more vague
 
     than this little bit  
 
of consequential evidence
 
     i leave behind  
 
to mark my trail      
 
     in my continued
 
restless journeys
 
     temporal passing

here
