Thoughts once spoken
the bottle open
Genie tenured
—reentry closed

Born on the moon
one sixth of earth’s gravity
Reentry approaching
would your skeleton hold

Bones forming soft
g-forces awaiting
To welcome you home
—or break the new mould

so blank after the exit
so pale after the discoloring incident
i am a blue bricklayer in a red town world
my heart has callouses 
my mind has splinters
so drained following the reentry
the fight in me is now in permanent hibernation...

Shared dreams
A mystical anomaly
Or heavenly known?

Nightly slumber
Un-replicated, 
Refreshingly mysterious

Star journey
Shaky landing 
Upon reentry

Shared dreams
Blissfully unaware
Goals known

Astral travels
Reviving soul
Nightly...

Purpose

If we examine now
What we are doing
And find we are not free..
We must then 
Put the doing aside
Perhaps only briefly
And be the observer
Of the doing..
Then the observer
Absorbs the doing..
No observer..No doing
Just what is happening.. 
And we notice freedom
Making reentry......

And my child-like self...

He ripped his hand from her gripping grasp
Upon the reentry of my eyes
She’s taking a drag
On a lowly, loathed fixation
Yet his hypocritical heart hunts for it
But they aren’t conjoined ceaselessly
For my presence is an unbinding force
But if you love her
Tell her 
And hold her
Don’t let my existence
Rot your heart and your hands...

Feigning reentry
from places I’ve wandered
Destiny challenged
the status-quo damns 

Feigning reentry
from freedom unhindered 
Life but a journey
its trappings to ban

Feigning reentry
its price was my freedom
The given agenda
new death to the dream

Feigning reentry
refusal my mantra
Staying in transit
—new rivers unstreamed 

(The New Room: March, 2023)...
