living with
dying with
scars
inflicting ~ conflicting
scarred landscapes en-
trained and eroding
pain transporting
grain by grain
these mountains re-framing
and eventually flowing
on to base level and the
Ocean of love
life without scars is anomalous
like a Sun with no aurora
perfectly imperfect
just as life is:
beautiful
a beautiful reminder
of mortality
mirrored in the fluid
dance of the eternal
heaven sent or heaven spent
its never misspent
in post-recompense
morphic resonance
So...
stand
hold space
think about direction
wonder why
then
get ready to fly
