BODILESS VOICE

cut in your mouth from living a lie

bodiless voice
straight from the heart 

true pulse
twitch in your eye

befriend the black 

eventual blue
just me and you
and what is left to come?

body and soul an intersection
donut moon a single bite
quieting storm air
where is the mind when the body is gone? 

water flows downhill
always will
sing a song to keep us walking 

quantum froth
young fingerprints
you were really reaching out
of touch and time
only evidence of your existence 

absolved in a groove
slight incline
power of the landscape
pickup in the woods
white sunrise
through loosening cold
and dreaded rituals
two moons ago 

before you were you you were new 

cut on the roof of your mouth from not telling the truth 

terrible habit
catch 22

midnight in a perfect world 

sugar coated zodiac

how things hang together

leaf and root 

an invitation to evolve 

container for the mind

the vastness of change

it was always such a pleasure 

time between trees 

weightlessness 

dark as the sea

cut on the roof 

under your breath 

sometimes you think 

then you forget 

stuck to the roof 

under your tongue 

all that you were

all you’ve become 

terrible wound 

hysterical eyes 

veil of smoke 

layer of ice

silence the 

room

skip the song

how can you be unhappy
if all you do is what you want?
