The rebel
 
Line of inquiry:
“Neither desire nor aversion 
Meditation our immersion
Conditioned beliefs discarded
Hymns we hum are our own version”


Strongly I feel, I am longing for “A” one;
Justly I be intense desire;
Personal how be it drawn;
I fight against authority;
I am hierarchy;

Best be believe in me;
Repugnance, to do paired said desire; 
Masting said, FIRE, 
 feelings of dislike, repugnance bio;
Unwillingness to do something see, 
One thing paired with a desire to turn away
Subject matter dismantled, swayed 

Such a soul dissident, I am a maverick;
Under baptism totally involved in an activity,
 or subjects matters;
Deeply I am focus;
Midst the Hocus-Pokus;
Hymnos be still my Song of Praise;
Earth and Heaven raise my name;

Purpose of adoration, I be of royal deity;
I am the Him in Hymn, really!
worship someone or something through song;
Not conceited, I’m exceeded
 A Revolutionary nonconformist just an Insurgent
Never am I ever flaw, nor wrong;

Masting

Red Oak menstruates in the heat of summer
Beech and maples stand back from her labor
Moonlight lifts her skirt
Wind drifts through her leaves

She stomps in circles only the owls divine
Piper of voles
She checks the many holes up and down her body
Shivers
An ancient skin crawling with leafhoppers and katydids

Pinches herself of replications
Like a plate glass window shattered from above
She rains green acorns
Thousands of bitter thumbtacks dropped to the forest floor

Seeds claw to their tiny graves
How they cry night and day
During a month of rain sun and the twist of Earth’s belly!

Mother! Mother!

Until
More than enough
For a feast of all the creatures

The remaining settle

Stars
Born from the mud and sky of colliding galaxies

Woman and God.
