Echoes of a Third Man

twinned in search
of a voice

one

shut in-
side,

an other
other out-

side, you decide.

Poet, I've Been Meaning

But I’ve also been
Other things before

And shall be other

Things after you leave
That I can tell you about

If you’re interested,
All you have to do is help me

Invoke the right metaphor.

Someone casually discovered
The missing link

Had always been missing, now
That was something

Everyone had cause
To miss.

Saying Goodbye to Good Old Terra Firma

Mind set

on fanciful flight,
how on earth

were you expected
to venture

out in the dead of night
to stare

stupefied

at quivering firmament,
dumb feet planted firmly

there.
