and rise
again
from feelings that flew too close
to you,
torn from the womb, tethered hands
sworn to illumine weathered lands
and I crash again
back into
seed
full thrust while blossoms
bleed
life into the few
of the
new breed
that makes its way thru density
seizing sight, thru intensity
of light
that makes it all grow
up and away from the roots that
know...
breaking tearing swearing making
moods that fade too soon
foods that make new moon
out of fragments that form too loose
sometimes
to hold the rhyme inside,
tucked beneath the rising tide
of things we share
and things we hide
waiting for the revelation
to seep up from our pores
into our mind
tending the sores that
stifle the times which await birth
here
in the name of earth
in the name of the mother
in the name of the bearing
and the burdens of Other
ways
to see here, to know here, to feel
hear and peel clear
of stagnant flesh
saturation
the sudden dawning
e v o l u t i o n
and
i n v o l u t i o n
POISED
between worlds in balance
minds in latency
bending and twisting
and T

back
upon
itself
