Obliterary Shifty-Foot


Can you write the tapping rain,
Or the cool and quiet gray?
What you forgot, that’s yet to come,
Or the eloquent refrain
Of the wheels within wheels
That make a world, a year, a day?


I can’t write the strength of hands.
Nor can I write the truth of will,
Nor the broken point of being.
Words are not for barren lands
Once in the heart but slowly spreading.
Yet I can’t help trying to roll them up that hill.
