Lawrence Wilson: a poem


Parabolas


we orbit the truth in dark parabolas you and I and a thousand thousand others sliding easily through the fluid air like clouds of starlings surfing the sky, all pointillism, flickering north to south distorting, reforming, shifting again until there are no lies, only miscalculations and the beginning of forgiveness


gravity is patient the birds have to land sometime before the picking begins
