Unveiling

Eyes unveil intrigue while
movement provides more delicious
possibilities.
Discovered. A
body writhes in regret. An
abandoned spirit gasping,
creating uncanny realities
in the mind’s eye.

Bent to the point of breaking, yet
striving for a stronger heart,
warranting delectation.
The inhalation of remarkable perfumes,
a keen nose sensing change and
sniffing ingenuity from
forgotten breezes,
long since passed.

Wake up and set skin over bone-
insulating the magmatic blood within.
Hardened to withstand vehement poisons,
equipped to tackle hazardous mountains,
and then
promenade over them-

like molehills.

Old friend

We have all known fate before.

Closer to it at birth, and then
progressively dimmer in our minds.
That ever expansive time
before we came into existence.

I don’t remember it being bad, so
Why be afraid?

When I must
inevitably return to that
curious place
I will greet it with a smile,
embrace it comfortably…

Dearest old friend-
I have so much to tell you.
