Digging for time
I see the shadow of a man in the distance
Fogged in grey black muffled light, part hidden by
The tree branches, part by a moonless night
It grows clear tall brown black grey figure
Wrapped in his task moving the earth
Digging a whole in deliberate sways
Digg, grab, hold, sway...throw away
Gathering soil and dust
In a pile...and again
I get close enough
To recognize the face
The forehead, the nose, the eye, the stubble covered face
The breath hurling from the nostrils ,decipating in dark
He recognizing my stand comes to halt
"digging for time....we have been at it for long"
he labors saying it loud.

Plowing ahead
I tell myself if I could reach the knob the door would be a passage
Yet there is more involved , should the door stay open or the
The velocity of the force I used to open it should reverse it back to
A close.....
And if I stop here at the threshold of the door and succumb to the doubts
Of the passage and all that stays behind and all the unexpected I would
Come to realize.....is this a beginning or an end.....
I tell myself if I should pass the door with no memory of all is left behind
Just the possibilities of the unexpected and unseen would I be better for it
Would not living with fogs of memories and traces of experiences
Bring a clarity in my perception
