Beginning a new poem

> Hi,

> I am working on a new poem and would love some assistance.  I will place
> below some lines I have already drafted.  I hope you will catch the scheme
> and spirit of my embryonic notion and add to it.  (Don't take specific
> details too literally.)  And please keep on adding without changing anyone
> else's contributions.  It's raw.  I'll edit the full compilation later and
> re-post it.  This is so crazy it just might work, and it'll be over when
> it's over (most of the practice of poetry is revision and re-writing).

> On the night before Now
> we all clambored over and greeted each other.
>
> Now came the first morning,
> We asked each other many conversations
> and passed around the shining circle.

> On the second day of Now,
> I could see a long way in people's eyes.
>
> On the third day of Now,
> everyone called up tomorrows,
> bellied their laughs
> and embraced every future Now
> with sweat-slicked arms and braided voices.
>
> Each night Now the sky
> came down to join them.
>
> On the fourth day of Now
> they saw magic inside themselves
>
> and so blew gently on the embers inside of each other.

On top of Morning Now
and all through Evening Now
they shined and shined the circle again
touched each other's sayings
sipped each other's songs
