For a moment,
a minute maybe,
an hour,
my head went under

it wasn’t thrashing gasps
or clawing to froth the surface,
just a steady,
non-negotiable weight
that spoke to my ankles
of depths

I tried to keep my eyes up
following the lipped bubble trail
to the howling truth above
but when my head dropped
the blue belows almost soothed

finally, before lungs gave,
tired fingers relented,
worried the knots,
freed the old strokes loose

that's how you came,
and that's how you'll be
paint on a canvas
wild, in front of me

mind clashing and
dancing, feelings
from up above, or
from the deepest dark
gutters of endless belows

you are something else
and I'm nothing of the sort
you'll have me in shackles
and bandages in short

but a bruised up
toothless smile
will rest
for a while

on the drifting
dreamer
Crawling for miles

protons smashing
mingling, mingling
Receiving

in space made
in randomness
and darnkess's embrace

but there's no sense to
make of what's happening
to me

I could go on
for hours
and you still wouldn't see

these things come from
nothing,
these things soon to be

from dimensions
unknown,
from foreign clearings

a fraction
of seconds
For fractured
Moments

suspended in
time
in existing randomness

we can't control
how we came to be

but it's your choice to
make,

it's up to you to hear me
trains and trains and trains of thought

Look up at me and beg, with your tear full eyes..demanding I allow the mercy you once so long ago denied me of. But what you don't understand it's been long since, that the bridges have burned. And now that water belows become trechorouse, your scared to fall.. to just slip away, but what you don't understand is long ago so was I. But you laughed at the sight of my dangling body, I fell and you thought I was gone and could care less. But now here we are your looking down my barrel, begging for forgiveness but if the tables were turned. they were turned but I came out even stronger, and now I squeeze my hand without a blink not a single doubt...I told you you would meet regret, I told you I didn't want you to see the dark side but here it is and now the only option left is to embrace it's nature...
Shall we go to hide of the front and make love to light in darkness

Shall we crave to drink the water out of beer and turn drunkardness into dancing

Shall we sip of memories in every minute over your top and under your bottom

Shall our bodies rope up to the exclusion of coldness and delight in the merger

Shall sing mamcita my senorita and gamble over winning a lottery in getherness

Shall we puff to the air the smoke of the rich as we turn hustles into glamour

Shall Christmas bells find us with ding **** merrily kids and hence belows

Shall the stars outside darkness over the star inside of you
Who am I??
I can't tell
I can relate.
I do survive and covered by the mantle  of God
I get kicked down but find my way up
I am noisy and lanten of hope to the weary
The least of the sober drinkers
I am way up beyond the belows
I am a young face never fades, smile that never ages I am half time tomorrow
I am the dream I never was
The first point off your full stop
I am the last bite of your crunchy bread
The berry taste in your lemonade
Take me on, take me not
I am way what I am

Now way to control in whole
The way we are remembered

But gardeners plant mustard seeds
In the deep December

You people of the future
I saw a Strawberry Moon

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
New York City tune

You are in my meditations
As are UFOs

As are exoplanets
Water on some of those?

And if water froze
When then goes belows?

— The End —
