MY 22

My 22

one by one

it adds up

twice the double

in solitary steps

a direction

bi-stand in place

polishing the mirror

a movement refection

the Janus in living

paths and doors

a walkway

the Gemini

holding the choice

a greeting

there is only

the double once

a hint

like two scoops

on a single cone

a treat

it adds up

one by one

my 22

a direction

a double stepping

a movement reflection

a two door

a duplex-ed space

a greeting

a choosing

a Janus

one by one

the twinning mirrors

and eternal reflections

a hint

OM

OM

finding light and feeling fire

to witness that feeling

of discovery

worth pains from those burns

to witness feeling

from light

there is that mix

from stirring

MOON

MOON

there is the moon

there is the night

there is the quiet

that is not silent

speaking to the quiet

speaking in the silence

speaking with the night

there is the moon

night listens

in the music of the moon

and the rhythm  of silence

to the beat of quiet

to be the night

breathing the quiet

anticipating that silence

there is the moon

when i get to 2oo

when i get to 200

they'll not ask for explanations

they'll think you already know

they'll just want to hear it recited

those things

they'll already

know

and then

they'll explain

the explanation

and reciting their knowledge

knowing already

those things that'll never be 

 or asked

wanting only to hear

those they'll not want to ask

for explanations

they'll just want heard

those explanations 

they'll already little 

know

when i get to 200

and the lack of asking 

becomes reciting

in that lack

and not seeking

then to explain 

the asking

when i get to 200

explanations already known

reciting for the asking

hearing that want

they'll not ask

and then

that surprise
