For now

what beckons what calls

what summons what draws

 

I take back the naming

to receive you

I take back the assumptions

to be with you

I take back my entitlement position

just to be here amongst you

 

I have been gone

but now return as now returns

 

I have been gone

on a long journey

filled with naming things

making assumptions

holding positions

 

it was a long journey away

but now return as now returns

 

thought is now

but not by association

thought lives

but not as judgment or conclusion

thought is not an endless procession

of still shots passing

calling that stillness

 

thought coming out of stillness lives

for now

 

for now

what beckons what calls

what summons what draws
