twisted necks

So much is felt
So much is said
I cannot untangle or cut
The cake that bakes
Somewhere in my chest
Thick and full of flesh
As a baby in the stroller
And everyone looks down the crib
With their twisted hanged necks
To change, explain and persuade
The infant and inferior, 
the shortlived
Caged to the bed or pressed to the chair
Its for your best, no fleeing here
But what some don't know
Is that at night
You've been walking alone
Through thickly dripping trees and fog
Through the wild and true and unseen
And opened yourself and taken off your face
And you learned to walk and talk their talk
But you will soon see
Mo matter what
Twisted necks and tall red eyes
keep spitting
bending
and looking down

the burning

And yes i have thought
The cut-clean and uncomplicated
And appearingly beautiful
Like castles and statues and gold
Are neat and pretty
But there's something else about
The way the sun curls itself
Into my lovers hair
And seeps through the window
Or the way he holds me
Like the colours of the day
Like the way ocean melts stone
And the mountain grows green beyond 
Sparkling and burning
With soul, sorrow and love

And theres somethings about the way
The world cuts itself
into the soil and rocks and us
and how it cuts and molds and cleaves
as leaves in all shades cover the ground
With colours of mint and forest and burning coal
And I am burning slowly as the world tears us down and wears us down
little by little
But let me be 
alive for now
For a speck of time
floating in the milkyway 
scattered across the sky

longing

In the night
Hungry and longing
Home
To my home
I feel an overwhelming cleanliness 
Like newly washed pillow cases
tears you let yourself weep 
and the cold morning breeze 
I am not so wrong off
I am not so lost
We are all
Just human
Just human
And I am not so lost
See, I have something so utterly untouchable in this world
Pure as snow 
And warm as a home
Sweeter than any herb or spice
honey or fruit
And as colourful as all corals and crystals 
and flowers in this world
Something that pulls like the ocean
So blue and full and flowing with emotion 
I have something that rises over the mountains and the trees
Holds me when i sleep
Something that moves my sun and my moon

I have the world 
And I have you

it looks so easy

Everything unpacked 
Open like a wound
I see through laced curtains
Bandages and foam
And everything isnt everything 
How is it so easy
I carry one heart too many
Sorry i cannot machine
It looks so easy
Dont you think

☆ In line ☆

Oh, to fit like a book in the shelf
That never wants to be opened
Like clothes folded at the bottomn of the closet
Like ducks at the pond, swimming in line
I wanted to be in line, folded, rectangular
Like a white house with white bars and white windows sills
I felt i was something strange and unpleasant
An animal in the zoo noone wanted to look at
A bacteria, a piece of mold, a stain
Something to get rid of
Something to discard
So i just wanted to be easy
Like most and to feel seen when i am only being watched
To be washed down to molecular parts only to be formed
to fit into the mold 
and to be cut 
by the cutter

old figures of the past

Old figures of the past
I did not know how much love
i still poured in their glasses at every meal
with the cucumber, honey and oatmeal
Another life and another time
Have they forgot 
The beaches and the stores and the carrides
And noone reaches out
Like we reached out our arms to the world, our hands out the windows

And they seem to flow and fill truly
Finally like flowers in all their colours
I just wish I could be there, and blossom too

Feels like an ocean apart
When i remember and look at the photographs
I know they are all doing better
Better than ever
And I am filled with warmth and love and laughter
I want to braid their hair and beed bracelets, run trough cornfields and to have sleepovers like we were children
And I pour over with love
Though i could never have told anyone
It could never be the same agian
I am just an old figure of the past

☆no rush ☆

The wind brings the world
Raw ocean air with crystals of ice
I close my eyes to feel it and be it
And in the smell of melting snow and smoke and blooming flower buds
Life Is not your feet or hands or brain
And how fast they can travel
Life Is your fingertips and cheeks and warmth

I wish to have a big life
To live with my whole
And when the sun seeps between the trees
And the leaves turn the colour of sunsets
There should be no running with hands and feet and brain
I want the truth in water droplets on leaves and wheat fields 
of all things rich and lush
No rush
No rush
No comparison

becoming☆☆☆

Sometimes I feel a new wave of me And owerwhelming breath in of "This is becoming" Of a gap from where i left That cliff long ago ...
