Spontaneity

"discarding narrow thought flow crutch we learn directly by soft touch and what we garner we relay to the vast void in childlike play entwined thus with the universe we dance without need to rehearse"
*_*_*_*_*_*_&_*_*_*_*_*_*
Take the words and wrap them round Fingers, hems, lost (not found) Pennies sewn to add weight to dress Out of circulation, more is less Stamp out gravitational pull Look at me, pause in this lull Sigh on sight as slide into night Memory lingers like puffin flight Disappearing like never was Adrift on single word 'because' Exist in sliver of tangential time To never grasp these lives of mine Sink though elevation taut I run this riot, escape uncaught Clothed in lines unsaid, unthought I share to make myself less fraught Bathed in mist, forgotten, unmissed I still insist, unstilled desist Revolve as spin connects loose threads Choose the blur where refuge treads Find surface tension, smash right through There's nothing left now to pursue Except single moments where all is clear Then swept up, away, revolt, shed tear
