ur entering into new
divisions
what were once nesting dolls
self n self n self
now empty space
full of echoesechoesechoes
ur selves pray 2 1 n other 4 1 n other
all genders all forms all limitless beings
loving helpless holy pieces of ur soul
child rider
free to follow the light—
a seeker of love’s embrace
always seeking the sun
while tied to the earth
reader of the codes
that are interwoven
in the fabric
between then & now
between heaven & earth
seeds that grow
in the life force
that surrounds us all
to rise above the earth
only to be buried once more
pushing ahead
slowly, back against the sun—
it’s step by step for some
and careless joy
for the ones they carry
rewarded once
on sight unseen
this gift’s delight
a daylight dream
*
the beggar bare
he seeks his alms—
the woman walks
he’s lost his charm
*
a jailed man rich
he sits and waits
in a block cell Ritz
without a gate
*
winter bare
the dead leaves wait
in springtime prayer
for a lover’s mate
*
unearthed in bombs
the craters claim
an ancient’s tale
of human shame
*
no one standing—
a stone path digging deep
into the woods
*
warm on either side
beneath the clouds that loiter
in lustful haze
*
she came
in moments when the sun
reflected on the glass
*
water and light
reflected before moving on
to another day
*
stretching on
the rivers render the earth
from one moment to the next
*
her eyes show no one
as they open and close
