Branch 1: Words worth Wordsworth

Something I have been piecing together for the last few weeks.  I finally dug throw all the notebooks I had left parts in, collecting them together, and rough drafted them.



Words worth Wordsworth

We will sit upon the same steps,
Within touching,
Within talking,
Within all synchronization possible,
And yet, only the silence will connect us.

Only the wind raking through  the branches above
Will be our discourse, of coarse
Wordlessness will fit me like a vest and tie
And you like a dress and eyes, and I
Will unspeak so loudly through all those talking
Around us that you will pause, you
Will tense and pause and look at someone else so,
You will not look at me, and we
We will remember.

That Thursday
In the park
Under the tree
We sat on my sweater, we
Talked and told
And asked and listened
And broke and bonded
and re-broke and re-bonded, until
Until the silence could only be shattered
Into words worth Wordsworth:

We leave you here in the solitude to dwell,
With these our latest gifts of tender thoughts;
Thou like the morning in thy saffron coat,
Bright gowan and marsh-marigold farewell!
