Visiting Mother Gaia Playing with time, practicing life, everything nothing and all in between.
Its not like I’m dressing up or down Its not like I’m asleep or dreaming beyond my capabilities Its not like charades Beyond a line of sight and physicality A singular origin There is no need to guess Until a jolt within flesh draws a gasp And like a midwinter rabbit Who fails to sink below its own ears I become exposed Disturbed By a sound heavier Than the weight of silence

Weight Of Silence
Somewhere between The first sight of a blackboard And the erasure of all it contained Somewhere between The alphabet of identity and no fixed abode an unaccompanied enquiry Sometimes restless A childhood colic never outgrown Sometimes composed A symphony already written which echos More abstract than mammalian More embryonic than complete

Abstract Mammalian
There is a condition adjacent to fear That rests beyond its boundary A place so close one may drown In the awareness of survival A point in time Where you await the Caiman to close their eyes

Survival
Is it numbness at all or a certain familiarity That instills a sedative so private It discards its own name simply So as to be not talked about Simply So as to calm the self harm Of ones own crucifixion anonymously

Self Induced Sedation
I need no planchette To span dimensions Or form the words left unspoken Our story is paused condensed Placed inside a love heart With vacant cartouche that still beats On days When the world is waning On days Of surrender and trust On days Where should the moon Wish to take me it can

I Need No Planchette
I'm sure at times I outgrow myself Within a stillness where nothing moves Bar a breath that almost need not be taken Within seconds Ungoverned by hands that tick tock Within minutes Where all that is held remains untouched I'm sure at times I lose my name my density my body at slumber And slip through a crease in the veil of its form

A Subtle Surrender
We were always more                  Than the sum of ourselves We were never two that became one Or one plus one                          Equates two We were beyond relativity More than carbon More than water More multi dimensional          There is no other explanation As to why we still connect                      Through portals of time

More Than Carbon
I've drawn a big square Then another In each corner Inside the big one I have a house Just the same as the one I drew when I was five With a little stick dog a tree And a winding path All out of perspective Little's changed I can't sketch The tree is deciduous A dog now barks My path meanders

Stick Dog & Tree
Somewhere between           Blue and violet Somewhere between Someone I never knew And Someone I thought I’d never met Stood Indigo Not an Indy            That’s just too vague You made sure of that From beneath a wide brim             Summer of love hat That acted like a sundial But tracked the moon The sea of tranquility The place Were you                          And I And The elephants on your bracelet Can look back upon the world And consider it as            Lapis Lazuli in our eyes

Indigo
I don’t know why I just know because I feel Because something pulls me to become inverted Motionless Within salt water To surrender myself To absorb song In unknown language through saline
