Things that keep going round in my head

things that remain unsaid I’d say
to people who aren’t here to speak to

the fact that I’ve no idea
what I’ll think about next

all the people I’ve ever known who are
(or who may be) dead

the nature of the existence
that preceded my essence

the dogs we’re going to
(you can hear them barking in the distance)

all the unknowable worlds
in other people’s heads

that whereof one cannot speak
(revolving silently       of course)

the distance to Andromeda

standing by the sea at Trwyn y Borth at night &
wondering where it all went (the time, that is)

thoughts of the one I love
