To Be Left Behind

To be left behind to be as I am,
to avoid the making of any myth,
to be plain and simple, that is, beyond
the need for deceit and decoration

is it even possible, or do words
already imply, does a song suggest,
an act of dreaming, is this all a dream,
is there any stitch that seams past seeming?

a desultory morning before voyage,
a leaving home to be homeless in air,
to ponder above clouds, cross continent,
land, distribute and assemble again

it's raining, green of trees has gone sullen,
I have painted them with my solitude
