BURNING ADVICE

to the atheist
allow the question of after life
to melt the rationalised future

to the believer
let go of belief
and peel your eyes to the evidence

to the hopeful
let the roads of hope be laid
but without need to be travelled

to the wise
fall forwards into deep blue beautiful youth
and strip time away beyond its reign

to the enlightened
check your hand-luggage

to the present and tense
shift and touch the world
just to the left of here and now

to the serious
play

to the jokers
practise silence in an exposed place amongst others

to those who advise
write your advice down on paper
and burn the book happily in winter.
