the turning of the tide

we are one and they cannot come for us for we have not weakened
we are one and the distant apart ones cannot own us
o bright rings of my uncalculated life shine from me
show me the wet shining dark places down the pathless paths and turn me into your sea creature, your free swimmer
we are one and the tides are turning the darkness lifting the biege veil shredding the priapus, monolith, mountain falling falling falling
O breath
O unity
out of the darkness I come into some other rose colored light


finally, from here, you can see the stars

strung

like the upheld neck of a master's guitar
pulled taut, ready to tremble
out of my fingers
out of my guts
my groin
into the hollow stars
