pilot

in letters

my experience is an ongoing
experiment, unwilling to stay
anywhere as stodgy as the inn
of expertise, even overnight

and every time i start in earnest
to say anything true enough
to ring, i give my meager savings
up again

putting all i know at risk to all
i have yet to understand

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
