What I read

Quick!
Come back to Body
sit right down

a perfectly good butt
waiting to take you back

Come on
kick off shoes

stay

slip right in
to left hand
that's it
then right
slide one hand from waist to knee
other side
on skin like putting on clothes

line your eyes up
with that far horizon

feel the roots of your hair
slow growth

rub finger thumb together
feel the grit of your own fingerprints

slickness of throat as you swallow yourself
back in

inhale yourself now
all the way down to your soles
you let that breath go
do not start to lose yourself again

because a yearning in your cells
muscles-tendons-ligaments-bones-tissue-flesh
for your taut aliveness and Be-ing

do not start to lose yourself again
or I will call you back
I will call you back.

Is it hot?
Is it live?

powered up? eeee-lec-trified?

Is the red light on
and are we recording?

Are you certain you want to go through the long courtship of the Self
A few blue summers of tiresome lonesome some-ness?
to get to the unknown unspoken unseen that is past desperation?

I'll trade you
but you have to take me up on it right away
before I change my mind

I'll trade you
the burning
and the bursting
the twisting frustration

for the way you hold your mouth
the way you shake your ass
and the way you slouch down in that chair

I'll lay it all down for you
I'll lay it all out
so that the unknown is known
and the unspoken shouted
and the unseen revealed

and we're both not so desperate anymore

slow dissolve with our four hands joined
and the past in the far distance
