UNTITLED POEM ON A FOUR PAPER PLATES

By Raymond Charles Lewis (My dad)

The big dipper

is too low in the sky

to see above the trees, -

emmense, tiny clusters

and mist of the milky

way,

A cow almost brays

or honks,

lapping + lap + soft

slapping the water, -

across the water.

the cow almost brays

were it only this

yet ever pressence

I know,

this grow-up here

around these stars-

the cool of the late autumn -

the wood fire -

today the young preacher

talking sensible death

on the radio,

and today a picture, a photograph–

I never so much

as touched her

hand.

and her wedding

picture has turned

me back,

so deep inside

against the outside world,

I want to go again

away,

I want to wak again

alone.

I want to kneel

someplace & be

beat to death.

Moved on waters

and asleep on land.

Here now I remember

a feeling.
