Suddenly, when you least expect it


Suddenly
when you least expect it:












the sky balloons in a fever of fire

all is changed, disarranged        and

retrieve though you try

there is no rely       or re-try




suddenly
when you
least
expect
it:

all
falls
away
in
an instant
then

life
meets
leap



and the eye
of i-dea
the chime
of mine
or thine:






Suddenly, when you least expect it
comes the sweetest taste you will never-ly know
on the lips like God's very kiss
but oh can you know it
oh can you know?



and when's-it your turn?
do you think you know when?
Don't say that you know
it comes when
it comes when?


if your tears were the ever-last thing that I saw -


if your sweet fruits of mirth were my last burst of song




                                                                   if
all pink things
were
                 sweet-ripped, yes

today: then

today,         then -

                                                    today
