Never A Forgettable Bone

 

the anxiety comes with the love … the fire … the torment of becoming invisible.

 

the confusion is the abuse. I had to make that move. it came to clarity, the response, the sky is right on the ground … it engulfs all things … how does it separate?

 

I know you feel average … if just to witness the self in love, agony, and deaths.

 

the message is repeated by love, its apparatus, its courage … the remote fishers!

 

the tides are low. the tides are high. it doesn’t matter. you continue to become more of the compassion you harbor.

 

it hurt so much it felt good – as to separate from your feelings, to sacrifice for your soul, running into caves near lakes.

 

such a diehard leopard, never abandoning spots, so in love, so unredeemed, never a forgetful bone.

to still locate innocence, so trained it is, so low—it flows organically. clarinet souls, triumphant cries, biting or scratching, unrehearsed.

 

the opalescent sunrise—into bones and aches and shivers; those chills, those emotions, those terrorizing feelings.

 

the iridescent moon calling—to fall upon your sword, like Saul’s soldier, one last act of devotion.

 

one last dance. our eyes closing. the rapture upon our essence. to never again let go, to die without one regret, to awaken in a stroller, hand to fate.
