The lightening helps us walk

It'll be alright by the lightening

it helps us walk like itself;

walking up through the ceiling window

of my flat

we link myth and flesh

amongst the cherub jokes and sinuous cloud,

hands shaking pulse in the concaves,

death dance and phoenix breeze,

the prayer and the wet

rolling down the slates

harmony in our butts, rolling the storm back, and watching it all

happen.

 

The night spills its last beer like weighted sweat.

The opera accepts our tickets and slices us down with gallous applause

Where do our limbs stop being the night?

They do not, so it seems, and spread the thunder out

from our one hand

to another;

the nails, and skull, of one, open

fist, retaken-

and driven up

from the worlds core, remedy in scent

the talent of our blood,

damming the poison, allowed to evolve

inside cell

and be another - celestial light, that not only drives the heard,

but is at home in the energy of waking

life.

The lightening passing down through gelatenous night clouds,

caring that there is only sense in the warmth of our mind, our synapse grace,

the float of our hands moving away from the globe,

un lapin mouvements de warren

farmer gathering his flock as the night moves

chain smoker watching you cook

another reason to storm the bellowing halls, one more toast to the sodden market,

brings the landscape to a halt, and strokes out its weariness as apes walk

the amazonian peaks, as the sunrise settles down

and into us; summits

made of nothing,

but the story of your day, all that makes a man

know

and remember

that yours

are always waiting

and are willed by things

that I will never know

completely, but walk like lightening;

creating,

when the storm comes.

Letting me know

it's all **** false,

if not

you.
