Rinsed in violent rain--

Refreshed heart

In weary beaten waves

Where all remains--

                                  

                                                                            *

My mouth moves

Mimicking silence--

     Were I as wise

As I posit--

                                                                           *

I follow her flesh--

Spirit seeking spirit

                                                                          *

One listens

Hears nothing

Is satisfied

                                                                         *

In the warm thrust

Of ecstasy--

Pure consciousness 

Of being--

Souls seek what mates

They find

And ascend together

Kind with kind

                                                                             *

ALL IS LIGHT!!!!----

except where

all our

shadows block...

      

                                                                            *

There is nothing

--And therefore

    A place for

Everyone and thing

                                                                          *

I would have you

Ever with me

Wherever in body

We are

                                                                        (these words for Ali xoxo)

                                                                         *

extras:

I saw past

The boundaries

     And was paralyzed--

Now past

Paralysis--body has

     Caught up to mind--

Slow movements of age

     Finally in step

                                                                           *

I woke again

to stale fate

as if a change

of world happened

while I slept--

Even the pigeon

cooing outside

this window

peers in

as reprimand

     "I peck

at crumbs

and shit

on cars

and statues--

what do

YOU do?"
