Future is Now (And Then)

And We Are (Prepared)
An Aspect of Desire (Sky's Limit) 
The Bed Of Rest (Thermal Blanket)
The Hope of Leaves (The Grasp)
Waiting In The Wings (The Red Dress)
Whistling Down The Tracks (Vanishing Lines) 
Earth Spirit Rising (The Embrace)
Every Journey Begins (One Step)
Concrete Lust of Rebar (The Yearning)
Shelter in Place (Now Leasing)
Like, There Is No Tomorrow (What's Not To Like)
Occupying Sacred Ground (The Thinker)

And what have you to say about these flowers
late in the season, so desperate and calm.
The whine of hope perishes
in time, just in time, for the jackhammers
to build an emblem science, and the small figures
to move in its midst, like so many futures.


-- Ann Lauterbach, from her poem Lines of Flight in Or To Begin Again (2009)
