The Womb

now is a womb I cannot remember the future I have chosen in advance right now I see how to live forever cutting out of the santa bag relieve myself of this once ate choosing to remain in the only real state of points of power pow pow pow and so life goes under the wheel of my consciousness blessed by my only voice in these grabbing trees the wind under my sails asunder in the swinging singing seas nothing, northing heading nothing started ended, nothing moves me from here nothing, hanging, wrangling tangling superseded words words words tongue tied twisted cut ropes beside compass and wheel untended unneeded the text always speaks of immortality and meanwhile all I can see all I can say, like a child in and of the heart is please and thank you for now how, eventually they become one and the same until I return to the sea like a river forked no more expand into light as a mist kissed by the wish washed no longer in time or name or finish with revision, without secretion without need for completion or validation like a youth's need for a rhyme's dance, reassurance here, how the only chance now

Additional Notes:
A moment...stretched. Indeed, this may very well be all we do as poets- stretching a moment we seem to feel more than others and then fill it up with these words words words... Om, Regis

you do have a way with words poet.....and this one reads just fine.....the words penned bring forth images created along with hopes, desires felt.......imagine how dull life would be without words to fill in the spaces of time.....thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire
