Margaret R. Friesen;
Utopia
There.
It is over there;
Can’t you see it?
Far away and
There.
Here?
Crying and
Sleepless nights.
Here?
Things end,
There’s no room
There.
Is everything
Although not everything
I guess because
There’s no crying there
Or there shouldn’t be.
There’s everything that could be
but there…
There isn’t
There
is
There
is horizons
There is
a horizon
There
is over and
over again
There is
overflowing
There is
anxiety
There for
not knowing
and not being
|
There.
There
is not
There
might come to us
but
There
cannot be made
or felt fully here
or even
There.
even as we
see or know a
‘There’ is not
a ‘there’ nor a
Here is
the point and
There exists because of
Here which
pervades all
There is.
There is all.
There was all.
There will be
All.
It’s all There.
Everywhere there is
or was
or will be a
There where
Here and
There where all is
There and
Here where all isn’t
There.
It’s
All
There
