#mana - Hello Poetry

on the day of the double funeral I stand waiting for the rest of me to die, I am that I am but I harbor a bad disease. i should be anywhere and be doing anything other than what i am. because before Abraham was i am standing in the empty quarter reading a funeral manual on the day of the double sky burial. i’m poisoned off my pouch of yesterday’s mana. gums are bleeding this is yesterday’s daily bread. men cannot live off bread alone and the jackrabbit horde is coming home our own locust plague for a new Sahara. i stand with a hangman’s fracture lost on the old sermons in the sand. following my family’s footsteps sadly in the wrong direction, lost among the marking rocks. snow leopards of the black blizzard and my poison pouch of mana. drowning in the fires we cook a stray dog reaping all the whirlwinds I sound a 12 foot Tibetan horn on the day of a double funeral - perched in the dwelling of the solitude.

My hands filled with magic I wave to a new world I saw a Shaman in the mirror He is perching on the snowy mountains and swimming through the ice cold rivers of Ōtautahi We're Chanting a duo in motion my magician my spirit my mana his cloak covers me in gold The drums in my heart are deafening we're bound in vines and ruby wood air sails through the gaps her whisper brings birds on the wind To my feet I am nature I am all Blood bonds and stories I am the clock counting down

Giggles. Grins. Spikes. Spurs. Thunder. Dogs. Pandas. Cute things. Ramen. Spells. Be our guest. The Script. And these are what makes the Kite That's the soul of it, Its blood flows with every letter written, Its heart pumps with every fantasy created, And the breeze it glides on... Is you, The lightness, The sweetness, The eyes I'm yet to see. "Same"

Eleventh. The instant the hand struck 12, Tears from up above began to fall A glimpse from 600 days or so Our teeth said 'hello' Our fingers flicked 'goodbye' Fall came and went, I saw Belle dancing with a ball, With Cinderella's glass shoe 2 fortnights, and our feet met once more And that night, I flew a kite Way up high to this day, With words written on its tail: "Happy Birthday sensei! 2017 would come soon 'Till then, hopper wishes you to Be happy, and to have more time to sleep "
