HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 2
HOW CAN I PRETEND ?
PART 2
Pretence is for those who
round a corner with I did
read that book, she smiles
with her eyes, then escape
to humour minds or waves
agonising over shame
or secrecy or stealth
calculating cunning
strategies for recognition
such nouns or adjectives
are human language
defining egoic grids
instead I marry
transparency with an
undisputed path of trauma
truth leaving pretence to
collect lipstick, mascara
house-frames whilst I
hop skip my naked soul
Neither thunderstorms
dragons, poverty, fungus
will scare this soul
basking in authenticity
whose fireflies danced
at a polished staircase
foyer warning of faded
fragments, smashed
Cinderella shoes
No pretending about
tiptoeing across shattered
glass witnessing that
even a Coelacanth
would not swim towards
a cubic zirconia cloned
as diamond landing
on ocean floor in a
Seapoint walk clothed
in bitter tears
I’m too smart for
pretence !
How can I pretend having
Rebirthed through a Heart
leaving ego standing naked
at Lions Gate or some other
portal I do not yet perceive
ready to take instruction
as previously I did from
my Maker with a Yes !
I will !
Anything You say
as You bliss me out
slash me with pointed
Flames clearing this
muck down my legs
I acceded to navigate
What do they know about
tearing torture to wear
my colours as owl crown
No torture at all !
but a willingness to
submit to conscious
suffering like bee to
pollen whispering
Come here, my Love
knowing how to bind
honey anyway but loose
My mottled magical
mystical Mary make
muffins in her median
muscles whilst meditating
dare not pretend that
laundry becoming dung
heaps, rust festering
around auto-immune
vibrations do not
matter as threadbare
tyres tell their lies
looping lice
Pretence lies coffined
Cold
