Surrender Reigns, Perhaps Dissolves
[Poet’s Note : The value of the new Specular Fugue form is that it enables the Poet to present different realities & timelines simultaneously, advancing the development of a non-linear mind. This helps Poets move from their Emotional Bodies into Detachment without losing emotionality.]
_________________
Perhaps I have a glowing Guide
standing alongside right shoulder
who peels my skin observed
by angels as I fly into chuckling Sky
with tears dripping from armpits
My armpits are itchy, unwashed
as angels lament with flapping wings
they stroke skin repairing tears
some stand behind my broken chair
my Guide looks like a serpent, dare
Perhaps I belong on that constellation
where I fly to find my vulnerable Heart
playing hide and seek with Odysseus
Neptune blowing his ardent lover’s bugle
with Sirius giving commands, as usual
I take zilch commands from anyone
blowing my own bugle musically ripe
shadows play skip-rope backwards
my open Heart is sliced and raw
belonging to moving Consciousness
Perhaps I’ll have a hot meal tonight
or roses a white sight on my birthday
for my marrow smells like myrrh, only to
my own olfactories, Mind everywhere
obeying Self, indulging in other realities
Crossing other realities my Self
is naked to Mind, stringing strands
marrow containing ancestor dis-eases
on my birthday I expect wild daisies
hot meals please, they are a scarcity
Perhaps, a fleeting thoughtform lukewarm
arises and falls as rosy pears on summer
trees ripe for playful picking in placid breeze
the word and shrug opens possibilities for
Protector to make subtle choices in ease
Poets party perhaps, using music AI apps
in nightgowns seeking cheap possibilities
autumn breezes don’t care as they pass
pears falling nevertheless, sure as gravity
pulls thoughtforms, fears, ambitions
I follow banks of River, so as not to sink
sink not your PERHAPS,
Surrender REIGNS, Perhaps dissolves
