Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
what is it
to know that you’re
doing the right thing - ?
to wake up in a
nameless town
with yesterday’s dirt
still in your hair
to watch the morning sun
yawn through low hills
and over passing cars
as they push on to work
to eat the last of a
stolen loaf of bread
and follow a talkative river
grazing on the promise
of each untasted moment
this knowing -
do you know
you know it
do you feel
noble wind howl in each
breath
like the word of god?
or do you mostly focus
on the ache in your
dry stomach
and wonder how your feet
will fair
the coming winter?
