the unthinkable is our specialty

~

there are special periods of varying length
when we are given grants of capability
where solutions transferable like shared salt drops
and red gummy bears

you need, I believe, and the
no contract is signed and commissioned,
belief is suspended,
for the eyes have the evidence,
the ayes win the nomination,
the shaken but unbreakable longest kiss
secures the deal,
and the local island newspaper banners a headline,

“miracles on the island expand contagiously!”

this is when
this is where
one walks the streets and the dirt roads
sing song smiling,
the tide always incoming,
the peeks of sun
perfectly strong,
installing a feeling
of safe and home and not alone

where is shelter?

here here,
here is shelter,
hear is shelter,
in words and deeds and on our
embracing fingertips

how's it been,
living life
to the fullest
while wrapped
in someone else's arms?

how's it been,
turning away
from someone
who loved you
with ardor greater than she thought?

how's it been,
disregarding
the times you've had,
which were so real
that leaving them was unthinkable?

how's it been
now that we've caught up?

There has been an invasion
Of mind, body, and soul
The out of mind, out of sight coma
Is no longer in control

All atrocities that don't ****
Plant deep rooted wishes of being dead
With many festering splinters
That wreak havoc in the head

Uncomfortably attuned
To the assault on inner peace
Allows stolen virtue and nefarious
transgressions to never cease

Will patience be the poison that rots
The onslaught of thorns
That allows time to sow grains of tranquillity
And be reborn...
