HISTORIES
This slight remove,
This passion,
This sliver.
A slide towards,
( but not quite ),
Certainty.
A tumbling
Of eventualities
Concentred,
Piled up.
A manufacture
Of futures.
Debris chelated,
Polished, honoured.
A beginning,
A middle, an end.
Bound leaves,
Fragile and
Shattered.

Simon, this seems like an impressionistic piece about history-the concept, what it is. I thought it wonderfully insightful. >KB
Last stanza is very beautiful—leaves of trees, of books, of verb leaves–all fragile and all breakable.
Great capturing on history !
If I listen to that motor mind it sometimes chugs out a groove or two…..
