Thoroughgoingly Thankful



With some ongoing ingoing and yes
A little obsessively with a growing
Reputation being thoroughgoing

Unusually depressed usually
With some thoroughgoing seriousness
Left over from being German Lutheran

Es ist was es ist I guess more or less
With some thoroughgoing mysteriousness
From having been more but then lesser-than

An unusually unusual man
Not for everyone I confess but I
Sense we transcendentally identify

Between us to see in the in between
Each other like stars and to know what we mean
Sparks through the dark our thoughts arc to the sky

In German we say die Gedanken sind frei
That thoughts are free or that they ought to be
Though what I was taught does not seem free to me

Our thoughts are free as stars as far as we
Can see to wonder and that we do is why
We understand us unusually

I am thoroughgoingly thankful for you
Wonderful who understand like you do
There to share the sky I wonder under too
