This Is You

This is you April 21, 2014 at 8:42pm On a moonless night black as the bottom of a deep water well In your head you rearrange star constellations to suit your desires Look up, look down to that which is yet to be and that which has passed before Throw it into that infinite void of empty space Where you try to imagine all possibility Pluck the unwanted from your mind’s eye So that it’s only your vision to remain in narrow focus Born and strengthened by an enveloping darkness You know your light As a firestorm rises from your belly And you open your mouth to scream But there’s no sound at all, only a streaming light from your gut That illuminates a small segment of indigo sky And you know it’s you that must prevail.
