This Turning

This Turning

what one says
depends not on
words the wind

begins it does
not end but
lends itself to

an end this
turning may be
an answer the

sound of intent
so concealed a
word displayed is

only a word
not an end
nor the beginning

Another oldie from the eighties. It seems that even my poetry was thinner then.

The concealed display….. An intent that sounds tricky!

  Thanks very much Karen. My, uh, poetry seems to have expanded quite a bit, too…
