REBLOG: ‘In Plain Sight’ by Kerfe Roig

Posted on by ben Alexander

Poem:

if I could
unknit, remove these
protective
layers—un
knot the tangled breach—release
all I think I know,

return to
pause—recollecting,
listening
to the air
breathing in voices, called by
the resonance of

forest songs,
expanding into
organic
wondering–
(time knows its own creations–
unburdened by clocks,

the display
of exactitude)–
instead, re
placing all
measurement with one quivered
spiraling motion—

I wish to
sing odes composed by
trees—to be
answered not
with thoughts or questions, purpose
or pondering—but

to embrace
my own ring-years—to
follow the
journey of
each tree season, entering
what only seems closed

because I
choose to remain un
asked—having
forgotten
how to merge, integrate my
elemental core

  6. “release all I think I know…” one of many brilliant lines in here! 👌👌👏👏 The whole poem just flows beautifully like a river and is so evocative! ❤️❤️😁😁

  10. Beautiful and therapeutic
    Like a yogi at work
    I felt this deep desire of unwinding
    Every word massaging and releasing the knots.

    With the music of this voice playing in the background

    🎵recollecting,
    listening
    to the air breathing in voices,
    called by the resonance of
    forest songs, expanding into organic wondering–🎵

    Altogether lovely
    The tree – conductor and ochestra.
