revision by collision (thirsty water)
massive earth shift
wobble frozen oscillates
we lean then careen
feel centrifugal forces plied
prying our tendencies
to be crying
against the entryways
to our inner shrines
we have always dined
on opportunities
shed skins every Spring
we sang songs we heard
before each calamity
brought us to wonder
on our knees
we tended to be as
beautiful
as we ever were
hearing the soul’s
standard melodies
and rhythms
we have always wanted to
feel
why we uphold hope and
prayers
which warm tender mercies
we have
are wings and which are mythologies
we refuse to let go as
we accumulate dangerous
amounts
of drag on the dreams we
dare have
having to live in the
wake
of still alive while picking
up the pieces
of never quite trusting
what shines
in us hypnotized and sleeping
