Poetics... Certainly

certainly
yes, sure will, yes
see that figure on some land
on some day
with the sum of two eyes
thinking of some way
to say some things
that have been some how
buried for some time now
and just maybe
through the rolling of the sum of two eyes
the twirling of some fingers
and the kicking of some rocks
and some deep swallowing
certainly...
some courage
will come from some where
yes, some deep place
resurrected and sum up
just some of the feelings
some young man said

some times

the pain of wishing
that you were some one else
can't be summed up
in a month of sundays

and so a tongue and some teeth

and the sum of two lips
will do some speaking
and some of the words would be...
Daddy, why did you leave us?
leave me?
Am I not someone worthy of love?
Would you have me be someone else…
yes, sure will, yes

certainly
