I ascend in perfect lines of symmetry
the rhythm on time
like the metronome’s dichotomy
what a way to die
surrounded by smiling women
i lie on the grass and let my last breath escape
into the atmosphere
round like a crystal ball
i swirl in all the colors of the spectrum
i am a dolphin
slipping through the luminous membrane of space
into the divide between
my inner and outer realities
one heart pulses
two simultaneous reflections of consciousness
occurring in the same location
am i observing or becoming
someone ought to figure this out
before the wind blows the roof off this building
I am spontaneously ascending
bending through the nonsense
heaven is waiting for you to enter
and give you shelter from the storm
would you trade
the warmest place on Earth
for the shortest day on Venus
the Moon’s shadow is spurned by her lover
our minds feel their own gravity
target practice is indifferent to your feelings
still we are healing from our tragedies
one calamity after another
until we discover we are all one family
what a monumental occasion
this moment’s grace is unparalleled
by any other
what is happening
is this a part of my reality
or did i transgress someone’s authority
if i believe in love
will all the efforts to deny it be worthless
