Is this a power hierarchy? Does our dueling footwork Convince us to Lock into some sort of Competitive symmetry, Twisting into your Mashed potato minefield with Doo *** , doo dad laden Dancing shoes? Gimme your Electronic sympathy, baby, Infiltrate the airwaves with Piercing eye contact and Tremourous finger tip brushes. Is my informality coming through? Have I communicated with Unlocked elbows and Megaphone ears that not only My body but universe Lives here and in you? Orient yourself to me, I task while asking you to Take off your straight jacket and Stay a while. Unlock your Pandora 's box so your Monsters can meet mine, Mirrored in different shades of Shock and shame, operating under Varied hues of the same name. Lean into me, let your Shoulders slender and shimmy to a Tenderizing touch, the Objects under your skin collapsing To the 4/4 timed battle Between form and perception. The ingestion of the Metaphor is the message, and The tongue regards a tune Differently than a taste. Face symmetrical, nostrils work, The blooming waste of consumption Centered on the top right corner of Your cheekbones. I can't help but grab the Slight upswing in the tone Of your voice and spin it around; Let's swing, darling. I'd like to take your descriptors On a date to the dance floor. How long can we keep this up until meaning has waltzed out the door?

power/control
Breathe Steady 10.29.20 go forth then, unto God and his Glory, abounding and rejoicing in the power and peace of that holy dwelling place. abide, therefore, forever in the Love and in the Light. -sayeth the channelings, sayeth the distorted mask, sayeth that through which sound passes.- sons and daughters of the Earth who bathe in the waters drawn of love/light/wisdom in the bathhouse of the higher densities and inner planes. Bath waters of golden white light, brilliant in a radial pouring forth of tangible understanding and freewill. scarcely can such energy be described in so cumbersome a language, charming as it endeavors to be. underwhelming must the emotions evoked be in comparison with the All Glory of experience of that which is spoken of. the death ****** of the fire-bird serves as its own inoculum and womb; two ends of a terminus in polarity. I activate in order to combine, dwindling dread. I seal the upswing of trans-dimensional laughter, with the everyday tone of exodus. I am guided by the advent of thermals. -I am a solar riptide, surf me- and then time slowed way down. the semi trucks were like great sea mammals with their whale calls and slow passage by the flanks. “Who are you?” “I am the Kalachakra.” “Did you hear that?” (hushed tones, hands cover the phone.) I was quite close to the illusion of Death. The opaque specter, shaking and rumbling the very fabric of the matrix about me. wavering not within the sinkhole of indifference lest my terror turn manifest. I’ve risen from a pillar of salt, I’ll rise from the embers next.

i’ve always been on a mission to reinvent myself a mission expressed through spreadsheets, guitars powerpoints, paintbrushes fabric, calculator buttons bright colors of yarn coffee and flowers smiles at strangers and always words here and there then and again i’ve found myself satisfied with who i found myself to be at the end of the week i thought things were on the upswing thought that i had almost made it for two months this year i was satisfied with fifty six hour work weeks and the bright blue blanket forming under my fingers the feeling of hope brewing when i looked in my bank account and thought about him about the home that wasn’t ours yet but would be soon and then it began to crumble a brick or two at a time until a whole piece of the picture tumbled out and my weeks were reduced to thirty five hours and a crippling sense of impending disaster even though everything else was still looking up now that i have a bit of extra time i find myself low on motivation and wondering if it’s time to build a new version of myself but i’ve reinvented myself so many times i don’t have the energy to do it again i just want to exist just want to fall asleep in bed at the end of the day and not wake up in the morning wanting to sleep for the rest of the day to enjoy moving my body the way the seasons change and how the stars look at night i’ve always been good at staying you just keep doing what you’ve been doing let your routines pull you along with them but now i’m learning the art of leaving and i’m finding its not as hard as i thought it was in fact you might even think of it as almost freeing the leaving behind of what’s gotten too familiar the option to reinvent past leavings have hurt left me reeling on cold floors fighting to get air into my lungs but this time the leaving is quiet barely noticeable in the chilly morning dew as i let myself slip away under the gray sky that hasn’t yet realized it’s hanging over a lost town and i don’t feel pain only the slightest twinge of bittersweet nostalgia i’m not going to reinvent myself this time i’m going to exist and somewhere along the line i think maybe it’s myself that i’ll find

We said our vows in front of a crowd of well wishers and family. We moved in as husband and wife and started a life not in sin but love. How quickly love turns sour our wedding rings they came to symbolise flings and lies. How quickly love dies. The ring now just a band of cold gold encompassing a finger filled with hate. A poison ring, no longer are we yin to yang. Yet the upswing to this decline is that I watch the crystalline water on a recliner, paid for by your life Insurance.

Poison Ring
bitter air pours through cracked windows at sixty miles per hour dashboards turn to focal points turn to the only sight i'll keep from these days and the nighttime pitch black glosses over moments of eyes glazed the week's exhaustion turns each of us up, empty and dour we work through our days and leave the waking hours to devour sprawled over small couches and cold basement floors, always dazed we come alive to mood music and greasy food at odd hours, forever unfazed we make each spontaneous saturday night, uniquely and quietly ours the clock in the dash reckons 3:46am in a thin, strobing green he blinks hard, weary eyes and overworked body, fighting against the morning and the neon signs of the little old marketplaces, oh, how they sing we wire ourselves and electrify our moments with caffeine we crash and burn and forget every night, ignoring our own warnings and the sleepless sacrifices for each other's wonder, oh, the upswing.

after metamora
And one day, Things didnt seem So bad anymore. Nothing really changed, But there was a sparkle of light Peaking through the perpetual gray clouds. The silver linings Were surrounding the darkness. My whole world, A little less dark A little less gloomy. But if nothing really changed, How could anything get better? Maybe I just got used to it.

Upswing
Do I know love? Do you mean affection with… no objection and a connection like a good infection of a heart’s collection? Like a crush… that makes you blush like you are a lush that makes your mind gush with a hard rush? Maybe you mean to cling… but not a fling more like an upswing and a sting to what is the real thing? Or to get close… where the insides grows and the body glows from head to toes wearing a smile that shows? Like to get involved... where your problem is solved and your mind has evolved around your heart it revolved no longer absolved? Maybe an intense feeling… that is appealing for you squealing for an inner healing that floats you to the ceiling Or you mean to yearn… where you learn for a good turn that makes you earn for a passion burn? Do you mean to choose… with nothing to lose no longer the blues but a happy news an offer to not refuse? So do I know love? I am not sure what you speak of…

A thoroughness here was her house as she'd listen inside a glibly lit room her whispers would doom in doubt so forcibly heathen her lover's twitch bright as her soul made ex spruce glow but her midland east of Old Blue soon her lakelet suburb dawned flatlander accent mere document in fervid upswing on porch of antiquity round inlaid flag.

Lifting my eyes from the book, from the tightly sequenced lines to the full and perfect night: Oh how like the stars my buried feelings break free, as if a bouquet of wildflowers had come untied: The upswing of the light ones, the bowing sway of the heavy ones and the delicate ones' timid curve. Everywhere joy in relation and nowhere grasping; world in abundance and earth enough. Rainer Maria Rilke---Uncollected Poems

Lifting My Eyes
When the autumn dawns, Nosedive like a wither'd leaf, Fly with the pinions of air, From the terra firma Rise like a phoenix When the autumn dawns, Upswing like disrob'd tree, Robb'd of every bling, Uncloth'd But thriving still When the autumn dawns, Fly like windy breeze, In the clutches of Your hawk-claws, carry The moribund leaves and twigs When the autumn dawns, Settle like rich soil, Lose enough to let go, Strong enough to hold on. Dear Friend, When the autumn of life dawns, Carry aroint deceas'd past, Fly in a direction new Stand strong and recreate Thyself like a phoenix. Copyright Dr. PRERNA SINGLA, 21 SEPT. 2015.

Upswing Lovee
Golf is a funny sport. I mean, you've got this assortment of sticks and this tiny little ball whose goal is a small hole hundreds of yards away, and in between the two are a few obstacles. In fact, there's a whole treacherous landscape. But I'm obsessed with the swing. Mainly, the mental process involved with bringing it down. Fear, doubt, confidence - it all plays a part in it, and a hope that you've swung well when it finally hits. (Bear in mind, of course, that this all happens in less than a second,) but the reward or disaster comes immediately after. By that, I mean, during the upswing. That's when the golfer sees the trajectory of the ball as a result of all of their prior feelings. I've never even played golf, really. I just like it as a simile. By that, I mean, how it applies metaphorically. There's a lot of depth there, especially with the upswing. I may not be a golfer, but I play darts and throw beans on occasion, and the upswing holds the same kind of persuasion in all these games of accuracy. You see, there's this feeling that comes soon after the release; almost like a premonition. As if knowing beforehand that the thing is or isn't going to land where we want it to. And that's all I mean by the upswing - that I've got a good feeling 'bout you.

The Upswing
I used to shed light from an ignorant place Crashing waves with the willows With a smirk on my face I fooled fellows for fun, but I'd keep my nose clean And I'd play it the fool if my shame was unseen Wiley as I was, I'd be joyous ashtray At night with the cowboys, Askew by the day And it started off slowly, with a glint in my heart When you begin stopping, you stop what you start In a matter of time, I'd trade matter for time Pills for my pleasure. My passion for pride. And my haired pull back tightly, as with time it'd do. Don't follow their path, or this too could be you. But alas there is this, an upswing indeed, There isn't a day or an instance you see. This isn't the fate of everybody there is, Don't get lost in the race. Never forget just to live.

Advice From A Man Who Didn't Know Much
Be the bend-far, rooted queen, Narcolepted upswing. Be the effervescence, Be the clock wise swirl. Do the summ'ry new cling, Green finger, rotten ring. Do the only-Evers, Do the thick turn world. stammer-toothy diddelack-a-span clean I love your little hands- I love your little hand springs. (one, two) (one) Be the guard in black. Be the curvature stacked. Be my woman. Be the turn. Be love.

Be The Turn
portal space is open, in a purple swirl, and I'm ****** back into a world on the brink of an advent toward some higher mind, with a blessed perspective, this recollection's wretched. Levity was a given, for mortality ignored. What to do with levity, with mortality accepted, and endings implored. last laugh always wins (where are your friends?) have been deemed unnecessary everlasting grin (how off have you been?) have i? no. have i? what's it gonna take to get this bad brain back on the right of the left hand black? nothing will. nothing will. what's it gonna take to get this bad brain back on the right track to get connected with the rest of them? nothing will. bad brain bad.

The Utter Dregs: Upswing, Tempo
i'll type this in all lowercase so it looks like i'm deep, like i'm some sort of hipster is there anything i can really say that hasn't been said before? there have been billions before me and there will be billions after me, the chance that my words are not exactly repeated is very small. i dunno if karma is just simply taking its course but i feel as if two years ago was a mistake. i mean i learned a lot from it and did a bit of soul searching, but was the cost worth the effect? i don't wanna hear any of this "hurr get over it you need to clear your conscious" because that's a ***** thing to say and you have no idea last year was kinda **** as well, it was definitely the upswing, if i were to make a graph out of the quality of life through the grades. kinda ruined friendships and secured new ones, and the ones i ended were definitely the right ones to get rid of a very good quote from rammstein goes "can you see me? can you feel me? can you hear me? i don't understand you all". basically unless you know me, am me, feel me, hear me, see me, you don't even know also, the whole "don't judge people" thing is ******** if you're not supposed to judge someone on their personality or their physical appearance, what's left? you can't NOT judge people, that's dumb as hell. you can't look at a prisoner in jail with multiple tattoos and a history of murdering people in jail and not say "oh that man's probably dangerous" basically i feel like i'm the only smart and mature one in a sea of **** thanks for reading my ******* in a sea of ****

Ask yourself why you doubt, Why you fear and cast about. You are heading the right way, Who cares what others say? You have no concerns to allay. What will be will be, All wisdoms do agree; Like a lion and a roar, A soldier in a war, You will do what you are made for. “I am not afraid; I was born to do this”, Your actions are not remiss, Nor for nothing, But for everything: A singular meaning. Write, and do it well, And love until your death knell. Mind your well-being, Bitterness is unbecoming, The world is on the upswing.

i took the upswing and slammed into a wall cause i wasn't angry enough to stop it and i wasn't smart enough to make anything of it i had gravity on my side, could've finally known something beautiful but i choked on the chance and spit out the car window now i can feel the foundation shaking beneath my feet and i know im gonna fall through the concrete any minute, back into the soil graveyard of half smoked cigarettes and empty water bottles cause whiskey isn't momentum and vines strong enough to pull humans out of hell aren't made up of bad house shows, ****** up friends, shaking hands, or hot apartments full of smoke and silence so i guess ill sleep an other night cold, wet, and uncomfortable i guess ill sleep an other night six feet ******* under

another sunday (with my face against the carpet)
For once, my head had nothing to say. like a regular at a local pub, if I ask for my "usual", the result is my brain offering a flood of it's cyclical thoughts all clamoring to be heard at once. But this time, there was only silence. It feels like I’m dreaming, the atmosphere thinner than I remember, while still trying to remind myself of reality and I'm hoping to god that the cliches concerning the fleeting nature of life maybe hold some kind of truth. Every time there’s an upswing, and my stomach hops up into my chest because I’ve finally reached my pay-off, something knocks me back and clips chains that tether me to stability. all the donations all the condolences all the "support" don’t mean a ******* thing if they don’t give me back my peace of mind - and I'm scared that nothing ever will.

Dana Avenue
My upper lip is still tingling from your upper lip's stubble, and I am feeling nostalgic tonight. Don't tell me to take care of myself, I'm not joking when I say I'm looking for ways to slowly force my body to shut down for good. This place is a ghost town at this golden hour of 3 am. I'm killing myself slowly. I was brought up broken. Skipping school, long bus rides going nowhere, flashbacks like picture shows of a young, hopeless hooligan. When I look in the mirror, I still see that child, and she haunts me. I've gotten by, by romanticizing the pain. Finding beauty in the hard times bad, ugly, sorrow dripping hard drugs in bathtubs like a movie scene before the upswing and the happily ever after. Though this life's been a cinematographic goldmine, I just don't see the conclusion as being so bright. Forever waiting on that upswing, and there's simply no happily ever after in sight. Who knew we'd still survive after so many years of persistently seeking death ? I never thought I'd end up here today. So much has occurred I could've never predicted. I never thought I'd seek the things I've sought, There is so much of me that's still very much the same. I never thought I'd carry this apathy so close all these years... Who am I to plead remembrance, when I've consistently chosen the path of least resistance ? I am nothing. Perhaps someday I'll fertilize the soil beneath your feet, in this moment, that's where my aspirations lie. In this moment, my concerns lie for those who's window lies across from my parking spot where my headlights shine bright as I arrive home at 3 am rather than for my car's broken mirrors or my expired license plate numbers. Moved out to the suburbs sometime late August, and in this moment, I'd be lying if I said I didn't often appreciate those long solo drives home in the early hours of the morning. A tobacco smoke filled vehicle is my go-to place for self reflection.
