Perfect Stillness (Found Word Poem)

his kind stand still

occupy a nation, a wife

they stand still.

  they plant the flag

while their stake moves underneath of them, sighing under its bondage

creeping forward into the light

for a moment in time,

they stand still.

  we bear the marks of their boots on our backs

we stretch open-mouthed from the forest

chains rattle, rivers roll, the ground underneath arches and slides

desperate to hang on,

they stand still.

  we inspire and expand,

we who swallowed the conqueror’s music,

sang a new song of our own

by the grace of hell and brimstone.

his kind stand still.

  and his kind

will always lose

in the end.

  words borrowed from The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

The Decisive Moment Henri Cartier-Bresson (found word piece)

Life is once,

forever.

What I want

what I'm looking for

is my business.

The greatest joy for me

is geometry

or your nose, your eyes,

the window behind.

  It's tiptoes always tiptoes,

put your camera between the skin

of a person and their shirt.

It becomes a question mark

you put on somebody.

A question of trust.

What is a revolutionary attitude

and a conception of man?

It's a way of shouting

the way you feel.

It's a weapon

it could be a machine gun

or a warm kiss

or  a sketchbook.

Yes yes yes!

  All the maybes should go

to the trash.

Your mind must be open,

aware. Tiptoes.

  The world is being created

every minute

and destroyed

every minute.

There's no new ideas

so you must be yourself

and forget yourself.

You can't prove anything.

I know too much of

and nothing of.

  You love

you hate

one can not exist

without the other one,

and time respects it.
