Mind Alchemy
the mind is a dark knot
like bones cracked in violent love
when suddenly touched by sight
ignite into light
I am how the sun says I am
cut in ribbons of blood
clarity in scars cold to the touch
held in crude earth flesh and memory
the only thing left
the sea in me - mind and body drift
caught in the breath
where blooms the desert coral, a Lacanian echo…
“I think where I am not therefore
I am where I do not think”
so, I am not where I think
I think where I am not (I think)
upon the haze
the wilting horizon unwraps
in red rapture the dull entwine
of being in the here not here
but there…with me
but where…I be
a dark knot
to unwind
tangle thought
deep grind
storm caught
soul blind
juggernaut
