Of Liberty Today
(For Percy Bysshe Shelley)
i. Prison of Images
This world is a prison of images.
What you love can set you free.
Or it can hold you for eternity.
Be careful what you adore.
It will make how you live.
The fermentation of ideas,
Grow them.
Watch each one mature into a fully flowered life.
The experience of space through the energy of thought,
Take out your beliefs and clean each one with questions.
The Shadow Folk and the Mirror People.
Two sides of the same false coin.
The body as the animated self has always been the gateway to the political.
Name, age and sex.
We classify ourselves every morning in the bathroom mirror.
The abstraction of the universe is the duty of all.
Become multiples.
Recognizing the veil of the body opens the prism of images.
Decolonize form and give back identity to its owner.
Nothing.
With favor quenched by fire.
The girl next to me standing rigid still in the evening crush.
Fists clenched white before each hip.
The fuel of life alive in her eyes but
The train has passed the final station.
It continues to the end without question.
No embarkations the entire length of the spine.
We take our bodies into the street.
Show them as reflections and packaged hopes.
They are nothing but the light reflected upon the mesh of our emotions.
Whisper your true name. Before you sleep.
ii) Inner River
Searching for the inner river
I reclined upon the earth and
found myself amongst
the dry dust and stones
but with my bones
I wove a new window
to an old kingdom
where time the filter
thru which we live is
banished by
the bodies in motion
the joining of grades
in the valley of velvet
and crowns flowered
in the eyes of every adept.
She flies through the night
and walks upon the stars
Her sky is the vault of my heaven
where deep in forest nocturne
we stack and adorn our bodies.
With blood and sap.
Advanced acres of flesh
prioritize the future
from eyeball
to grave with the grace
of ages wrapped in nothing
but memory and the light
that requires no source
our ambrosia is words
thrown out upon the
still waters of our minds.
Nothing ventured
nothing gained
is the game of breath
and of promises kept.
Keep listening to eternity.
It resonates everywhere
outside the symbolic
but within the diagrams
that dissect thinking;
A map of lines built upon
the sacred angles of love
the trampling of questions
the burning of return,
no one can deny you
this temple of emotion where
a heart lies at every center
for the challenge of seeing
has always been recognition.
