the other counter

a ghost      a piece of paper      passes time       collects on the other side
passes passion     collects material       collects a  naming familiar
engaged in    concerned about      collects more
concerned about duplications       exceeded by extensions
passes passing          an extension        of duplication       of shapeless reiteration
past oblivion        past the familiar             past reiteration and memory

near the back     I am the back      near a corner      repeating myself
behind myself    now said    now a corner  now nearly     now violence     
now    from start to next    from slaughter to the streets     another end to the next

I keep repeating my self      someone keeps repeating me   colaspping my expanding time  box
becoming  my back space     naming a familiar     repeating dream

wondering     will words       end at the corners

wondering     repeating a dream      will power      stomping a commons
wondering   

a stranger in a stranger land     both empathic and dead    both anonymous and dead    sacrilege and carnage        guilty of calm     guilty of guilt and clinging

I  sing aloft     thriving immemorial     naked against speaking         anonymous rain of tears
 repeated      moments  repeating      I am concrete     repeating you
I am your corner     you are my back    naming the familiar
repeating    I am      wondering     dreaming a wonder
