IF i was nude
without my clothes
wrapped in a blanket
feeling soft and thin
lying on your couch
in an industrial space
where the air is cool
but alive
if you were reading
poetry to me and i
was reading novel excerpts
between
if friends were welcomed
through the lovely living space
without any of age old appropriate hesitations
then the rains would slap
the leaded glass
surreptitiously
then the warmth between my legs
under your arms embracing
then the electric wait
before touch is over and helpless is real and beloved this moment of all that there is
then the realized infinite tenderness so palpable!
the fifth force validation so soft! loving! gentle!
so needless of words
then way out there with us in the ness ness ness less rest
ness less
be still
my memory revigorate
be kind my love
invigorate
pliable me
pliable you
light finds ways to the resting shade. it may be wondrous when it does so. non-chalant. when shadows flicker around these high walls candle lit
taper not
sweet memory
carry on bold to the next. precious life never fail! never falter! never leave! ever last
be still
be kind. let all past present future lives come together here. remarkably
anyone who still dreams
lets go of all you ever established
cherished institutionalized
yours
come read your little voice large into the clear seche vaulting expanse with us. up to the leaded glass high and ritual drumming of rain patter pitter
take off your clothes
wrap yourself in new vetements for once you are seen you are known you are you! you are loved explored like these pages these words these letters inscribed now released upon breath to honor the air
this moment these words from our bodies our ours! and forever. unsealed and exposed to the element
this is now magick. catch fire and cooled by the brick
