Acting Truths

I'm grateful for the liminal

I'm grateful for focus

to notice one's noticing

watch the watcher

spritz the spritzer

one zeroed in

binary thinking

where's the linking?

scratch the inkling

catch the winking

metanoia of metamoderna

derivé of the derivative

tournament of detournement

how far is the fetched?

pester the spectacle

society of shiny

too eager to tear down

Chesterton's fence

amnesia of wisdom

out of sequence

thirsty for tradition

we've lost our way

time to drop the props

feel the real

tearfully tear fully

from fentanyl's belly

calm the fury

festooned hyperstimuli

unwrap the rap sheet

drop the bullshit

escape the dreamstate

surveillance state

buy back shares of deep inc.

unbrand our skins' ink

what the squack?

who's got our back

my brother my sister

let's not squander

this life full of wonder

be total

move the dial

no more denial.

I'm grateful for discernment

to pick one from the many

the magpie who sings knows

which to peck on from multitudes

hiding in the rich soil

grass, pebbles, sticks, dried leaves

petals, cap, gills, annulus, stalk

the rooster knows when to crow

leaves when to grow, wither, and fall

panther eats enough not much more

each kill with grace and elegance

her movements art

poetry in motion

in shock prey who survive

shake off freeze and flight

resets

unshackles

free to live another day in the wild

nothing left but a curiosity, innocence of child

amphipathic phospholipids know

which molecules of water to love, which to fear

a Bene Gesserit transmutes poison

with the Voice have you in her tow

she senses truth like a fine tooth comb

weirding way with her bare hands you she can entomb 

to honour mind, body, relationships, environment

with utmost care

presence,attention is the path

meaningful desire

aspiration, live at the zenith

actualised potential, potentialised actual

atonement at one moment at one meant

the whole story happens at every moment.

I'm grateful for silent soliloquy

mind traverse used, disowned, alternative futures

that which aligns with survival

change that is social, glacial, at times inimical  

what uses have we for these

cosmos honours not our tenure

to be in flow with what changes

that is what endures

step into the river

one cannot twice

not even once

the one who steps is changing

the river is changing

change is changing

the entangled, the entanglement, entangled-ness itself

a constant in the instant

reverberates, gyrates, a swish-swish in the bushes

a hiding, feeling, sensing not shapes with corners

but waves, curves, the softness of my woman's caress

when I am not, everything is

she sits on me

our hearts touching

we breathe when I'm out she's in

when I'm in she's out

up and down, down and up

her breasts my groin

my heart her womb

circles that spiral

up to heaven's delight

nothing taken that is not given

nothing given that is not earned

she fully relaxes in wild safety

of my caresses

revelation, revelry in restedness

spaciousness of interacting

no you no I but a brief sigh

together always everywhere nowhere

here and there

in silence

eyes speak volumes

every nook and cranny of bodies relating

scent of honeysuckle

succulent sweet tickle

by the fire that burns hot brightly

we shared stories, jokes, random facts, songs

we reconnect with our ancestors in this land

vast, wide, a valley of special secrets

revealed to those who pause, listen, feel

with gratitude, respect for abundance

drum beats in our hearts they who came before

whispers that we need at each moment

not before, not after, without any superfluous comment

levels of you and I

kin, kindred, city, village, town & country

we commune

as one, a sacred bond with life

that abounds, abides, becomes.

I'm grateful for the rational

I'm grateful for the irreducible

I'm grateful for human alchemy

I'm grateful for boundaries

walking the tightrope

of satisfaction & wanting more

mastery & frustration

dynamic demarcations

of yes's and no's

a perennial perhaps

curious tongue

savouring umami of unknowns

bittersweet defeats

salty surrender

souring sympathies

spicy speculations

to feel what's alive in the other

gracious respect with their no's

thankfully taking what is given

in fullness of desire

the taker devours for their pleasure

the taken delights in equal measure

utmost joy

to penetrate

be penetrated

seen like never before

a becoming as one walks the line

proleptic reasoning

an earnest enquiry

amidst paucity of light

feeling muddling through

the one who wants

changes the wants one wants

as one gropes in the darkness

of having that which vaguely

draws out one's self

beyond one's shrinking skin

to emerge different

symbol emulated by its referent

boisterous bowers built

to please her satin passerine

yearning to be chosen

be Iet in through her barricades

allowed to lift the Empress's brocade

the greatest reward

for freedom to fail

repeatedly time after time

wrestled down by that which

is always greater

one becomes stronger

better wiser

to move through the immovable

beyond logic

boundaries bend to the beholden.

I'm grateful for dissolution

disillusion deconstruction

to fray tapestry at the edges

unravel untangle rip to shreds

a pretext, a context

for a reweaving, a rebirth

willful warp & woof

find in the rubble

of sacked temples

cornerstones, key pieces,

salutary structures

rebuild brick by brick

perhaps build anew

a never been

weathered rocks

cobbled together with distinct sheen

who am I

without a name tag

postcode, phone, bank card

social dilemma profile?

perish pestering personas

unmask the singer

identities nothing but

dents of l

entities, parasites to

body immortal

nay a repository of morals

deidentify the political

defy capital

in the gaps, in the void

the in-between

find spaces of healing

from the derelict

comes the messianic

those in swell

got no need to rebel.

I'm grateful for the gestalt
