*my rambunctious day in the rain at the park with Steph, Micah,Caleb, and Owen as well as this blog Steph recommended are the muses for this…
The earth cried today
This is why you were spit out of the winding downward, metallic slope
Your body involuntary
as it flailed to the beckoning birch bed
Shocking laughter
e n sue d
The aged ones locked eyes and bursted
with life while standing on the
bed of wet tree parts
as the remembrance of
the few frames of unbidden movements
flashed before our faces,
again and a ga in
What if we all became
unseamed in that moment?
Filled with surprise,
covered with earth’s tears and landscapes
while time stopped and the baptized leaves
Rose all around us,
swirling
Lifting us up so,
we could somersault through the
drop let s
Then gravity would slowly draw us onto sea of greens
Allowing us to roll down the gentle bank,
missing all of the craggy jaggy
arms and legs of those who exhale air for you and me
Bre eee ath e in
Rest chases us into the cloud’s resting stops
The muddiness dresses us up
We all then prance,
wildly
But wait,
no, no stop thaaat!
Come here! Listen!
Don’t do thaaat!
Sweet moses.
My dried insides tighten
Loosen
Tighten
Loosen
Ti gh t en
Their faces find mine
And, I’m tackled to the ground’s vulernability
with giggles, wet suits, and boots with silly horns
Unseamed
I
Be come
to them, to me, to the freewheeling experiences of
moments without time and demand
Where elation is our mode of travel
Unseamed as I say “listen to me”
