In ink, mired,

A forever-ignited fire…

Because the sun

my night is

So I leap.

Reflections of each shapely curve
The impulse to meet
Slows the beat of his feet

broods on the land,
smothers any impulse

stick 
to the skin,
steeping us
in lethargy.

awakens a subtle remembrance
a faint recording in substrate

to name to define
becomes an effort to dominate

at ease within the thickets of thought
essence of being flows like the breeze
there is no bondage save self imposed
each impulse we embrace and release

clatter
  and motion
and challenges,
awaken
   the impulse
to react;
    the interuptions
    convulse
    brow-beat
    the status-quo
to invite
a response

they puddle
pale green like mud
or alphabet soup
words & thoughts
dissolve
into letters & impulse
broken down to base parts;
under enough pressure,
anything will crumble

buildup of tension illusionary 
is but a wave in the ocean
surfing the bardo we see
there’s nothing to be done
save embracing and releasing 
each impulse play of life so offer
