Temporary lodging
Is found in
Lilacs in May, the solar system.
Ad lib lodging
Is found in
The poem, creation.
One could house
With the fiction of a violin,
Or on the slope of the sleeping giant.
At the heart of the universe
The very catastrophe
Of its beginning.

That’s really good line. I think that could be the beginning of a poem itself.

To think of Lilacs in May as temporary lodging and then to give them an address as “the solar system” and then the poem rolls to its death of its beginning. I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about but it’s great reading your poems over and over and always with music playing, usually beats, no lyrics. you provide the lyrics Bob. Yes.

I’m glad this gels with the music you’re listening to. It’s temporary lodging, but this solar system is pretty awesome. I don’t know, maybe I’ve watched too many sci-fi movies.

Always great for the mind and what not to be tuned to what might be happening in the solar system. I get too lost on planet earth most of the time.

Lovely and a little sad–all things are as temporary as “Lilacs in May.”

My brain dives and dives into this. I especially love the first and last stanzas. Thoughts that just go on for eons.
