meadow dance
Posted: September 13th, 2014, 5:54 pm
the pen burned in my hand
my heart ached for black fluidity,
I had a yen to take a bath in a tub of warm euphoric ink
the pen point hovered ala hummingbird
a mere eighth of an inch above the blue lined tablet
trembling like a golden aspen in the wind
the mind ran amok, zig zagging
a headless horseman on a cold halloween,
the hand confused, how to proceed
the blood boiled like the hand, had a serious jones
for cosmic confession, the kind that comes
when you are stripped of clothing
not from behind a darkened screened door
no, the therapy that arises when you rip open
the solar plexus cage doors
allowing all the wild animals to run free,
delirious to be unimpeded by bars of solid iron
or moats far too deep for realistic escape
consciousness can be very demanding !!
but if you are true to yourself, persistence
can keep the multi-headed beast at bay
as all the other deserving parts of yourself
frolic in meadows of dance
giddy, exhausted, tickled by fingers of high grass
you can feel your bones growing, sense the sprouting
of muscles and tendons, you witness
a fresh coat of flesh, creep over the welcome changes
best of all,
new eyes......
better vision
