MAKING PLANS (III)

Remember

I’m the one guiding the feather

Yet (alas!)

 this feather has retained

some autonomy

from its owner’s ecstatic and pompous majesty…

You can’t avoid that sometimes,

and I tell you in advance:

that can even be a desirable thing

Now open  your eyes

If you so wish

You know how a peacock feather

can be mesmerizing to watch

Or then close your eyelids to save yourself

for other things to come

That should be for you to decide
