UNTITLED POEM ON A FOUR PAPER PLATES
By Raymond Charles Lewis (My dad)
The big dipper
is too low in the sky
to see above the trees, -
emmense, tiny clusters
and mist of the milky
way,
A cow almost brays
or honks,
lapping + lap + soft
slapping the water, -
across the water.
the cow almost brays
were it only this
yet ever pressence
I know,
this grow-up here
around these stars-
the cool of the late autumn -
the wood fire -
today the young preacher
talking sensible death
on the radio,
and today a picture, a photograph–
I never so much
as touched her
hand.
and her wedding
picture has turned
me back,
so deep inside
against the outside world,
I want to go again
away,
I want to wak again
alone.
I want to kneel
someplace & be
beat to death.
Moved on waters
and asleep on land.
Here now I remember
a feeling.
