a Perfect Solitude

John Grey

Sun shrinks on granite ridge,
a nearby rock and pool
vie for survival.
Hill after hill folds into dark,
trees cram together so tight, they disappear.
I scan these demarcation lines,
moonlit gray, rippling brown,
boundaries to provoke,
but not hold, my spirit.
Mind wanders.
Fading bird trill, flapping bat wings,
return it to the source.
Sky is starry,
My fire is warm but not required.
No need to be human if I don’t want to.
I’m here, at the farthest edge of matter,
without books, without words.
Only heart and blood
continue on their regular routes.
My last thought has no relevance.
I don’t even bother the next one.
I can’t see a thing which is sight enough for me.
Noises surround me.
Feelings unsheathe within.
Nothing specific. But unrelenting for all that.
