The Superlunary Heart
"The Superlunary Heart"
in dreams
we meet
the you
in me
the you
I am.
upon awaking,
we remember -
although, it is
fair to say, some forget,
what the message
or intent was, in it all,
whom it was, where we were
when we met.
the mechanics
of facts,
when we are torn
apart, reveal
what’s real
inside;
flesh and blood
bone and guts
salt water
tactile organs
that turn us on
allow us to play
to stop.
to start;
in this world, this life,
our rudimentary part,
we are characters
planned, in a
pre-scripted story
all connected,
like pieces that fit
each others’ sockets,
electric and energetic,
something else
holds the pulse
has its hand on the switch.
This is what
we are told
to believe, and
for the most part,
wholeheartedly,
we believe in this.
we all have a
heart,
it’s physical
sets us apart,
pumping blood;
under stethoscope
you can hear it,
drumming
a tattoo march;
literally held in
the hands of ...
a cardiologist,
for example,
surgery sets
those venerable
medicos distinct
from lesser mortals,
they’re revered
and feared,
analogous
like God,
they have the
ability to open
and close strange
portals, however, they
are unable to perform
some miracles;
but -
when you take time
to consider,
everything
beats to its own
rhythm,
like a metronome
marking each
living second,
eventually
the mystery
enters
the questioning mind,
it ponders the unknown
variant in the
unsolved equation,
and one wonders,
what engine
turns ignition on
for that other
unseen something.
does a superlunary
soul in its inner
otherworldly
interplanetary place
of celestial existence,
like a ghost, or an
invisible occupant,
that nebulous
higher self,
standing soulfully observing
behind its vessel’s
vacant windows,
embody a heart?
And if there
is a spectral
Chief in Command
of all those other
patrolling astrals – along
with us mere mortals,
and that Leader
is the be all
and end all
the alpha and omega,
in one we trust,
above all others -
who prescribed
that over soul’s story?
whose hand is on
that switch?
what surgeon
massages that soul’s heart?
