God damn it I hope
this flows, works, works is the wrong word 
Aggh, ghee gad trying,
just god damn trying to find the current 
In the electrical
system the polarity what is even negative anymore 
I just feel neutral so
much available to slosh flop 
Wanting the universe
to tug on my passions 
To show me where to be
and I feel like that is out of the gigantic maw of suburbia 
Into the intestine of
New Orleans to get digested into soul-busted concrete 
Oak root rumbling in
bullets to the head to die 
Bleed right there in
the god damn street in houses named after firearms 
Wooden and
termite-eaten until the swamp swills in my gullet 
Frothing a Rugaroux
beast to beat the hell out of me in music 
Trumpets and yoga like
a jack in the stalk bean bursting 
The blue buildings
need more tangerine and turquoise shudders 
The construction of it
all I hope to see a spirit whisk me 
Just take this
divorce, abortion, and lonely drown of annulments granted 
To see god in
everything behind the roux blended in the trinity 
I am teetering on hope
that this stage will launch me into a partnered journey 
Unafraid to see that
this substance, this water of the two journeys 
The atomic and the
energy-whole beyond space time 
To comprehend the
basis of the Meme in its parallel duality 
That this is the
foundation to begin with exploring what love actually is 
For I have seen these
decades what love is not and for love to wash me 
Bathe me, lick me,
take me, embrace me not in supplication but in celebration 
To explore what this
atomic universe can be in the flesh and the energy as time bends away 
Take me past
waxahatchee creek and open the Mississippi river wide and pour 
The god damn waters
down my throat like a slurp 
Set me at the foot of
Canal Street and the River and bend my back in pose to drink 
I want you; I am ready
in moving on and accepting the now 
Please help me see the
reeds and the winds the beads and the sins 
That there is a place
and I don’t have to know all these colors in the feathers on the ground 
The crustacean and the
nightingale to the owl and the sounds I hear in the night 
Calling me
jaundice-eyed and I am learning how not to want 
Keeping hope
somewhere, breaking me from these family masks 
To know it is not in
my control, to be as available as the sun to the moon and in return allows 
Dreaming there is a
place for letters and waxing 
The light smiling in
embracing the beauty of growing seeds past spring time
