The Flipside

"The Flipside" We write our hearts out we pull the catch back in slowly, they read, we think, too fast swallowed in the hollowed out hallowed hearts measured ounce per ounce we write our hearts out stamping footprints obstinance turning ourselves inside, out stone washing ourselves inside out written on lines wrung out, expelled pegged left hanging right left without missives, no doubt on the flip side of eternity gravity grounds us toes touch the ground neck and face upwards downwards, still life breathing eyes watching, reading, waiting the mystery we believe, or, we sit still debating the earthly volume a boulder pulley drawn backwards forwards backwards in quarters we are quartered like poetry we are, washed in clouds inside out, we are on the flipside ; waiting (LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
