Today
by @christopher-james-grossi
Today is a gorgeous day.
It's filled with words spoken passionately yesterday.
Boundaries laid that free my soul from the ugliness of servility.
Today is a day of light.
I shut my eyes to light when I'm in pain.
Maybe you do the same?
But when I exclaim my hurts with fervor,
Even when it means I murder,
Connections that shall go no further,
Should abuses so continue.
My pupils shrink to dots like I'm focused on the sun.
Today is a day so good.
Swallowed blood from the bitten tongue cauterizes love,
A seal more like a rug than a scab,
And when I ripped it away to show the wound I harmonized with some
forgotten soul collective standing by to soothe begotten gashes.
And awoke to find divine all familiar acquaintance.
Today is now.
Some days are yesterday,
And others a distant tomorrow,
But momentous circulation is alive to perception always,
And when touch connects the true sum of all things,
And the levies lift allowing a super-fluid rush of sensation up into the perfect unknown,
Memory and foresight would classify as frivolity if the mind cared at all
to cast judgment on matters impertinent to rapture.
And today is rapturous.
