I'm naked
My eyes become the gate to the tapestry of life,
shifting waters, temporary islands
of dirt
you cannot trust
I'm surrounded
Shadows of the flying oceans fighting the heat,
mother almighty, kissed by all power
of connection
you cannot beat

Through the gate you see
The truth held by the Amazon
in its everlasting clouds
as they sing and dance to the drums of the soil
and cry, always cry
all the way to the source

I'm human
I mourn and I mourn
every and each soul
that got lost in the distractions of the ego
I curse and I curse
every and each hand
that tore down that gate
for pieces of colored paper


I'm everything
The us that didn't run from the truth of being
The us that became them after the sea routes
Lips and eyes that are entire bodies
Bodies that touch harmony
and see through the past
becoming one
with wild, roots and sap
