Kit Kelen #724 - time and the island


724
time and the island

can you know me?

of course I must lie about who I am

read into that as far as you can

you who are all around to do
go anywhere you like

but here

you can go anywhere but here

I am stuck, as it were, between pages

can you know me?

of course I must lie to be who I am

do you like 'as it were'
I believe that is a turn of phrase

you wouldn't want to be here, to come here
to the island

but time is slow
an hour is a season

they say it has a name
but I doubt that
anyway, I won't tell

I'm in a curl of words between

of course I am translated
I translate myself
it's how I'm here

if you have just a moment
you're wondering

it's brave of us to be here

a first page always is

you'll hope that I am healing here
(grant you that much kindness)

I can damage myself however

however is a funny word
a horn each way

like Janus wants an end in April

will you think to do that?

are we on the same page?

think all kinds of things of me

in your imagination
I'm some kind of fish
and I can swim away

I want you to know how I came
