Ground Level
the magnitude
of the poetry holding me
got me moving internally too
Call it Thirty-Two
Call it Life Process
Machine-
movement of Truth
What it DO
Digest
Push it through
all these Karmas …
What am I do?!
I’m part of you!
I ain’t here to harm
You are my root!
In truth
Forever charmed
In Truth
Aye
I
Let it unfold
This origami
Got me knotted up!
But this orgami got me
FLYING so now what?
Eye
Ear
Hand
Tongue— BODY
I am body embodied
I am the Spirit in this man ODDLY
World roofie in my cup!
Yup.
What a party
I can never get enough!
but
Somehow
Doing duty now
now
Only with some presence
Something of acceptance
Just a little bit
Let the bread leaven
Rising UP
To something better
Than the last dish
Rubberband-Man
STRETCH
See it all demand
Pushing to expand
Capacity with a every test!
LOVE
we’re just —
a conduit
Through us —
it goes
on traveling
having no
Beginning nor an End giving everything
Give EVERYTHING you can
And if you can’t…
Well
it’s TAKEN
Just for you to understand
We’re the same tree
So why you cut your own branch?
Damn
You’re FAMILY
You’re only killing yourself
Your own seed with your own hand
But
I ain’t here to preach
I’m just writing to a beat
For who am I
when I am just as ignorant?
Eating all that beef!
Getting bread
thinking that I’m
butter but I’m
stuck in
the same jam
the same mead mutter —
Lacking nourishment
like a feed
of bad thoughts
make your mouth squeeze
words to shit
let it ferment
till what you’re doing
turn toxic
You and I
We don’t learn so quick!
Obnoxious
Wordsmith
Hammer the grammar with no manners
Into something sharp
Weaponize the patterns till they gather and shatter
Into your own heart
Ah — found the lantern in the dark
never knew the light
till it bled through the insight
inside of what I write
let it shine — well we do alright
On the ground level
Lessons to bliss
You know
we wouldn’t have it any other way than THIS
Architects of mischief
And so it is.
Drink it all
Forgive it all
and stay in Awe
of the PROCESS
Moving down the stream
I don’t to need to protest where it leads
