existential sorcery
spells in kind
men
lost in thought
women
surrounded by circumstance
human being
corralled by emotion
encapsulated sparks of life
evolution's repentant egg
first we are tethered
then learn to stand
invest in two legged adventures
establish walkabout convention
mark this sprocket extension
pupae and chrysalis
a metamorphosis thing
are there regrets after sleeping
waking in some other realm
dimensional light being
stark spirit walker
hearken cosmic sperm
conjuring dreams
sweet over whelm
over and under terms
what we must learn
speaking prophecy in our sleep
you and I
always wake at times
realize some part of us
fragments dead and pieces disappeared
here we are planted
rooted to this planet
born into this trying world
excretion being human
always vying for something
we both love and fear
angels and demons
joyous trashy recklessness
thrashing us into feckless shapes
making wet love
sweet life we hold so dear
why us and them
this world seems to be afire
joyous existence doesn't seem clear
straits we're in seem so dire
my inside passage body
my winter storm mind
your coral reef body
your inspired crystalline mind
our evolutionary bodies
our revolutionary minds
fire and spirit talkers
higher tides and climacteric signs
protestation crowding city streets
flaming torches we walk behind
exalted sums of brave trust we find
crave and needy twisting vines
flocks of cooing pure white doves
every heady heart beat
suckling joy and contrite love
ready existence so just be kind
