The prospector

By Gub (the 16th of May, Eden Holme)

The day 

Is overfull


Uncompleted

Tasks abound


I pull at rocks 

A Palaeolithic sifting

through time’s rubble 


Lowing like a bull 

From side to side 


My pendulum 

Moves nothing 

Forward 


The edge of each swing

Shapes a  parentheses

Between which my body and 

Mind rock 


Marking hours 

But without progress


The prospector

With no prospect 


Other than

To prospect


Then true treasure is not buried 

In the find 


But in the search?
