It can't matter

It can't matter it can't matter it can't matter
but it does
doesn't it
zippered up
the bodybag wiggled
worked out a toe
wagged it at me
and I knew
life was not over
yet

It does matter
though gone cold
it is possible to rekindle
the cliché so interminably into the day to day
it does matter
butterflies flap
ask themselves
what's in a name
purely flight of fantasy
for butter never flew
'cept off a plate
and onto cape butterhorn
you taught me to play
play
circumnavigate
the mind has a wave
ride it

mindwave surfing
shit falling
into the drink!
blinking wave got me
towed me under
rip current
scuttling across sea bottoms
down down down
gasp
a breath of air at last
no body bag i ever saw, smelled, touched
ever lifted a toe
dead weight always
if a bit sloshy
kindred hearts waiting for grief to happen
amen

You've seen so much Jimbo. Such terrible sights and sounds. Hard to come back smiling, hard to mend what's been shattered, it seems impossible sometimes. And yet there is and always shall be
hope.
a wiggling toe of hope.
and maybe even one day
laughter from the ashes.

well glad i saw enough to know the difference between
bullshit
and truth
tragic world
filled with hope for the
hopeless
what i am here for
"to hope till hope creates from its own wreck
the thing it contemplates"
