Childhood (Celestial) Agreement

 

 

We entered into agreement, we’d survive or perish.  Life is meant for decrees, canons, precepts.  

I fret the magic of it all.  I imagine having an understanding of heaven—not goodness, nor badness, just pure activity. Something etching at its surface; something corporeal-incorporeal; 

 

something (humanly) celestial.  If needing an invitation, go inside the inner comedian: forgive the cliché.  In seeing a glimpse, it removes naivety, it leads some into waging wars; an appetite for Invisibility, nor an understanding of full-on nonexistence, with shadows inverting, light 

 

sprouting meadows, a slant into its forests, an art for making errors. We entered into agreement, if to perish at life, we’d go together. What a parent will do to rescue a child; to joke over harsh weather, to decree a miracle, to make with existence a reason to persevere. While drums are

pride an agreement, not envy its freedom. To have received it and walked into it. To have loved it until it deteriorated. Those close vibes dying in false exercise. The repercussion of first encounter—by its dream of perfection, to need a belief made solid in skies. To face excellence, in 

 

its behavior, a feeling most inappropriate. To let it go—to stop here—to have said little on the matter.
