Cool Blue

what you do not feed will burn itself out

disconnect ....

from malcontent

  ...cool removal

just bouncing light off

like a cool moon.

 gasoline

...searching  for a match

   step back  .

 

what you do not feed will burn itself out

the sacred, exquisite paradox

too busy making love to unworthiness

 tangled inside your own entrails

mis-reading the message of cowrie shells

 

what you do not feed will burn itself out

moving back into the abstract

fodder for the storm

thunder rolls

birthing rage

  ...caged

so I move into blue

 ....lighter shades of cool

..waters to douse the fires

the ire swells and flows

 ..vacuums of light and Indigo

that cool place  

 ..of fierce grace
