in the apse of her sleep

in the apse of her sleep
mosaicked allegories
histories dreams
the minutiae
dissolved in waking
rests here
each tessera
in telling
one story
tells
another
may you be
propelled
by a smooth
teeth baring
velocity
may your courage
be ferocious
your body strong
mind slick
as an eel
if you hit a wall
lick the blood
from your face
leave a mark on it
break it down
let the varnish
sparkle
let the undertones
nourish
sink each tiny square
into the cove of your mind
love freely
with a rock in your hand
parry the doubt
strike a spark
love in any direction
be fierce
growl at it
whorl
around the stem
of your story
lick your lips
be filled
the panorama
from where I stand
astounding

The other side of sleep. Flying. Words flowing.

This is one of my favorites as of now. A warriors prayer. A hymn to life undone and re-done.
