body

dear reader,


'there's one at the door

and there's room for one more

until the end of creation

there's room for one more


there's one at the door,

is it thief, thug or whore?

there's one at the door

and there's room for one more 'til the end of creation.'


no body


where’s my body


whose body


no body



remind me once more-

do seeds dream of leaves?


hope comes after the dark at the end of everything

hope trumps


I woke up in a room I didn’t recognize


I looked to the faces that you had seen me through


I hope you find your name

When in doubt go formless:


as a passenger in your mind's eye


alongside you


formless


endless


as us


can you feel me?


and i'll never stop

because

what's four years to a tree?

roll up your sleeves

ironed sleeves

rolled up

folded up

with crisp

intentional lines


at the precise length

housing comforted confidence


roll up your sleeves on the shirt of kindness

and let’s fuckin kill this disease

that's been set loose

to infect


is truth born of hope,


or is it the other way around?


remind me once more-


there's hope at the door

at the gate to damnation

until the end of creation

there's hope at the door

and there's room for one more


there is hope at the door

at the gate to damnation

until the end of creation

there is hope at the door



do you think seeds dream of leaves?


There’s a part of me that feels as though I’ve transcended time

I don’t think I could admit that to anyone but you


we can not put the fire out from inside the house

we need the wind between the worlds


do you think seeds dream of leaves?

do you think the veil could be any thinner?


as a hand to grab

and a body to hold

when you might fold

there is a hand to hold

the sleeves we must fold

there is room for one more

another hand to hold

until the end of creation

do not fold


as a cracking of your choosing,

with a knock at the door,

with hope at the end of everything,
