I must be going.
This is a distraction.
I'll see you in July.

woundedlord said...: The Flash

Something far off buried deep and free
in the country can always strike you dead center of the brain. There is never anything

it could be but you go dazzled
Dazzled and all the air in that
direction swarms waits

for that day-lightning,
for hoe blade buckle bifocal
to reach you. Whatever it does

again is worth waiting for
worth stopping the car worth standing alone
for and arranging the body

for light to score off you
in its own way, and send
across the wheat the broad silent

blue valley, your long-awaited,
blinding, blood-brotherly
beyond-speech answer.
