I left this flesh
for the bounty of
the gold soul

Paper womb
bends like reeds
the pressure kneads
me into this fetal thing

I have gorged myself
into a block of
mucous and spit

I stew
in immortality soup
open my everlasting eyes
and rise out of
the black of nothing
with wings of fire
glorious
in transparent skin

You cannot disturb
what is already
making quite a raucous

In between the
gun shots and chatter
is this inaudible void
that feeds itself
when no one is looking

To hear it is like
hearing God
A frequency at which
we are frantically
trying to get away from

To be entertained
and extracted
from the sacredness of
what is subtle

We are a bad
loud bunch
just learning how
to be silent
learning how to
be God.

One
My mind drifts
away from me
like a song
I cannot catch
and I am open to the
blessing of your kisses
on my feet
Sacred lover
come dance with me
on silk
enter me until
we are one

Your truth is
what makes
beauty

It navigates your heart

Hear your pretty beating
past the mirror
where
No one can see you
or have dominion over you

Close your eyes, girl
to meet the unseen
the true beauty
of your heart
Tanisha Jackland Oct 2016
I will feed you warm
bowls of soft words
until your soul bones
have been nourished
so that you may walk
on moonbeams
and talk with God.

Then I will tuck you
into the sunset
so that you may rise again
with the sky

Early in da morning

First light in your eye


Your heart's like a beating child

Crossing the great divide

( ! ) ( ! )

//

Come now
Darlin little boy

Put your soul

Into your dream


And put your dream

On the line

••••

It don't matter none

If you live or die

We ain't a part of

This world of space and time

Oh

Oh Oh

Just chopping the wood

&
carrying the water


Is suiting me just fine
