Something New....Someday

We let ourselves out   One moment at a time,  Once on the inside, And then again when we unravel  When we speak together  We let ourselves out When we open our hearts With a symbiotic love We cycle through this tauric field An open circuit We let ourselves out When the soul has become weary And my body has broken  We can lay our bones in a blanket Of soil weaved roots  We let ourselves out  When the body has transformed And the myco transubstiation Has broken me down I will rise into new life We let ourselves out From the pores of fruiting body Into the skin of the earth Into the roots and soil We are weaved within all souls

I build prisons for myself Walls that contain me, With windows that open Doors with hinges Doors Without locks  Yet still I remain. I become my own jailer And a ruthless one at times All the days I never let me outside I dream of clouds  I dream of sky I dream of blue heron  And butterflies  I can taste the raspberries And the rosemary bush I can remember what it is  to be alive I build walls in my mind With comfortable chains At home on my skin I’ve been wearing them so long  I feel naked without them I build prisons Yet I am the one who is contained.  7/22/18
