I have feared before
the wild dog
lurking in the dark
•
The alley beckons
his call replies
never seen but always heard
•
But tonight the darkness
I welcome in deep, into
my vulnerable eyes
•
Oh but how I am overtaken
overtaking her –
to know you
•
My soul whispers my safety
my heart beats strong
spirit knows the truth
•
Even if it can’t be spoken
it is still –
unbroken and cured
•
Give again the sweet melody
give again fragrant words
Sing my heart beat softly
and pray: my love: sick
Hurt my pride and –
shake my foundational bone
•
My hands fall victim to the latter
to the telling signs of decaying
assisted mindfully by sensory –
•
Wisdom and hope that maybe
I am invincible in this night’s darkness
in this light of knowledge
•
In the gaping, in the throbbing
In the inarguably real: The Real
“But” or Symbolic Imaginary Rules
•
Let me drink, I’m thirsty too
Let me taste this life you sip
Like tea, with milk and pie: heavy
•
Rich with cream and the wine
but I haven’t felt here since there
and there and there and when –
•
Sand amidst the darkness
Coming home; unexpected gifts
Joy: to be had, not stolen
•
To be whispered like knowledge
of the darkness and its light
Knowing, to share our hopes
•
All blessing all, for all souls
For the legacy, all truth and time
For the spirit of eternal wondering journey –
•
Our horizon: as it flees it grows too
Please please plead – stripes like lead
on my tongue: like black coal, like sticky, like full
