Sip Deep

Exotic - Diverse
       blessed our animal children of men & women
  find no sorrow in the generations,
             folding chapters
     becoming paper.

Folding and rolling on the floor - understanding
    
        i know nothing -

i look in the mirror and see the wall behind
   me
i am a room in a room in a room
     bending and folding a higher power
like a receipt from my birth -

     and it comes to this -

There --------> is everyone ------->

      
   and there ^ is no one V

   <---- with a heart that flutters between its lips when it speaks,
and its staircase bones and gourd belly _

they starve -
they are ravenous -
they stave off disease -

welcoming the treacherous -

Of course we are mad!  Men! -
by and by and try and try and time and

AGAIN,

the moon is waxing,
the cheek bones are waiting,
we are invoking,
      peeling
      unraveling
      weaving,

systemic yesteryear.
systemic tomorrow.

Grow long you empathetic variables,
  
      You, are beautiful.
