my feet are happy
my ears are happy
my arms are happy
and my legs are happy
my heart is happy
my head is happy
my soul is happy
that you are home.
finally finally finally.
happy happy happy
i really did miss you.
how in the whole wide world could i explain how much this feels like christmas.
i called your dad and he said "in an hour" so i ran outside and yipped and jumped high in the air (thank god for trampolines) and ran around in circles and jumped some more like a little child at easter.
not even a poem but i need to get this out. thank you thank you thank you world for bringing jasper home safe.

sometimes i wish to strike the earth
like those super-heroes
flying superficially above the cities
protecting man-made hollow halls of brick and metal.
i'd crack it right open
make my way to the heart
kiss the inner-core better
and sew it back together with patches.

*problem solved.
yeah i don't give a **** about sky-scrapers. leave the sky alone.

say my name
as the colours dance
and the walls tremble
call to the wind in this room
before i fall to the floor
before voices speak
and voices echo
before voices speak
and voices echo
exclusively to my ears

or you can dance to no music
speak with no replies
sit with the singing birds
and hear not a sound.

breathe in the mist
in the morning air
walk with two feet
that touch the ground bare
this is your earth, child
**this is your home
i thought i was on a roll until i thought of the rhyme "don't wreck it like rome" but then i figured i don't really know enough to go around saying things like that.

when the cobweb scheme of reality
collapses to reveal our dream-world
i'll be home.
forever and ever, my love.

collect
        fall into the open mind
        assemble new potential
   and
               deliver the product
          of a good night's sleep
found some notes from 2011.

You said you were drafted
and I
misunderstood.
For a fleeting second I almost thought
that I could pull you out of my drafts, polish you, and publish you.

I wrap my body around my mind
I wrap my arms around my ego
