pilgrim in pilgrimage

this morning i pledged

in the presence of Canadian geese

i, like their kind, would be at ease

to fly back and forth

to remain a pilgrim in pilgrimage

without securing my location

and i would enjoy the moment

always beating the winter

cold and dark and let it never

dictate, or control my soul

expecting, always, great moments

and attempt to do greater doings

settling with unsettling

something bulky in my indoors,

like an active turtle, revolts

within, refusing to my settling

in the depth inside my shell

refusals and revolts of my soul

against the menacing ‘isms’

religious and secular in texture

including a broader universalism

they are nothing but a ‘herd-ism’

camouflaged, making me move,

though, like a tortoise in slow speed

reconciling with an unsettling self
