march 8 or 9th (i don't know)
i am feeling like im paused again
only after a time of constant going
i am still now, trapped in longings of ideas
and all encompassing stillness
when i'm spattering the smears of colours i don't realize
what i am saying and
when i say i am going what I mean is:
Usually, it doesn't last for longer than a few moments at a time.
But, when my limbs are rocking and my body is
buzzing
and the waves of the beef
are swelling my drums
i can hold it for much longer.
i never considered needing it but when i had it,
i was present and going
moving faster than i ever could have thought
and once it left i hadn't been
able to fill
it the same
and
my limbs aren't happy without a hand to hold
and my drums can't live without the laughter when it ended
i want to move again. for some reason, no matter how much i am aware of the doom of the grey when the sun tires of its north, i am always slammed into oblivion or a place that is so blatantly still, i can't even think of anything else to call it. I just know that I'm deep down under everywhere I want to be -- I don't even want to try and claw myself out.
And, Here at the bottom of still the last thing I'd like to do is knife a fucking rainbow.
What do you most miss about childhood?
"Knowing the world was limitless."
amazing how the best times
are never recorded
at least not in the way
of scribbled placement;
pen to paper
little pilots and their fine black tips
i never used to write like this
rusty, wobbled shapes
remember when i was
the two
(do you?)
feelings of placement
feeling myself living
rather than watching
myself exist
so naturally stimulating
we literally felt high
and if i'd looked down
i may have seen myself
floating
explosions
erosions
and he hasn't come back
the pokings of the chives from last summer
are drenched with nicotine’d roots
and the incessant blow of the force
Of their arms
Just being.
Just Hi.
Just Hello.
Just resting.
Just enjoying.
Honesty is a hard one
And like I answered earlier
with that table-talk game
kindness is easier
(for me at least)
i have to go home
but i love you
and will see you soon
If you told me you could only love a lover i would understand you
I can only love a lover or
A brother
some people can take in so many
they are filled over
the brim
and i am not
one of those people
i am an often-constant
he could attest to this
fire ants in the 6th month
plaid hats in the 7th
shuttering and finding more hats
thereafter
truth
Just Hi.
Just Hello.
Just resting.
Just enjoying.
Just being.
