each foot firmly to a cold stone wall<br />
as if glued permanently, and in each toe<br />
clenched tightly to the edge, and in each heel<br />
entrenched in granite, immobilizing,<br />
where rock is flesh is not distinct<br />
<br />
intelligence is in each insight that sears<br />
into the darkness and the void<br />
from which light and creativity<br />
and everything is born out<br />
of each step taken whether with hope,<br />
with faith, with fear, or without<br />
<br />
intelligence is in each dream wooing<br />
each possibility of what might spring to real<br />
as anew, as change, as opportunity,<br />
as loving, as respite, and in the simultaneous<br />
inevitable knowing never<br />
what has not yet come to be<br />
<br />
intelligence is in each witness that bears<br />
what hindsight undeniably divulges<br />
as irrevocable past actuality, and in living plainly<br />
in reality, and in each moment, and in now<br />
as if trapped in avoid, as if nailed to air, as if<br />

back each layer of skin — slices<br />
of <span style="font-style: italic;">truth</span> — to reveal moist<br />
options, flimsy perception. Thinking,<br />
<br />
the onion stink can make you cry,<br />
try again and again, expect<br />
that in the end that <span style="font-style: italic;">truth</span> will lie<br />
exposed. Yet, you know nothing.<br />
<br />
Wallowing, lingering in <i>why</i>,<br />
entrenched in the wet<br />
of confusion. Sheer<br />
desiccated recourse pauses<br />
<br />
in now; leftover shavings<br />
shriveled up in w<i>hy not</i> — just spit!<br />
Flesh out and enable; hydrate<br />
the unspoken possibilities<br />
<br />
persisting, warming the womb<br />
of relativity. You stand<br />
without, stilled, whim<br />
wily, stripped stark, in dark,<br />
<br />
in a graveyard, seemingly<br />
left out in life; always forever<br />
with actual choices, whenever<br />
uttered, if ever given a voice.Penguin collector: still keep the wounded...http://www.blogger.com/profile/12770081897371601405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094371927005108596.post-3636811730319174182009-02-12T03:58:00.017-05:002011-08-14T05:14:11.443-04:00Growing OlderPoetry slices through me<br />
Molts fight and insight<br />
Captures a moment — a truth<br />
And I cling to it. I breathe<br />
Its air so as to feel<br />
My substance<br />
As though through its beauty I am<br />
More real. Carved into rock<br />
<br />
With each day I jell<br />
Into crystal and no matter where<br />
I write light filters through me<br />
As though entombed in mirrors shining<br />
The same reflection. Words<br />
Rebound and welter and I shun<br />
The din. Emerging<br />
Hope shatters me<br />
<br />
Into shards piercing<br />
The heart of my fog morphing<br />
Me into me and relief<br />
And blessings are in sight. Wishes<br />
As innocence and possibility flourish<br />
And blunder forever wanting<br />
To be what might<br />
And so I write.Penguin collector: still keep the wounded...http://www.blogger.com/profile/12770081897371601405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094371927005108596.post-33942432767745858532009-02-12T03:53:00.012-05:002011-08-14T05:06:01.898-04:00ForsakenFinalized on my facebook page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=1459588626156">Forsaken</a>Penguin collector: still keep the wounded...http://www.blogger.com/profile/12770081897371601405noreply@blogger.com0
