Linear

I dreamt a dream that came to life A force so shocking as a knife Piercing within a tingling charge Like 10-foot waves under a speeding barge I’m in the air, fall to the sea My stomach tries to stay with me A mollified rage through this hand Running my fingers through electric sand Oh how I ran… A field of feathers like snow-capped hills Like ribbons tide to tall windmills An intrinsic freedom within his bound Reality caught in a realm confound Pinch this arm wakes from a reverie To reveal something as massive as infinity And yet so unfeigned but not yet grown Into what life has primordially sewn Oh how I’ve known… But did deny the beating same We danced in a silent lover’s game To find ourselves wrapped in a shroud Did our kinetics scream so loud A breath-taking speechless chaos in calm But embrace the slow growth of a palm To let what I’ve known take its time And marvel in the truth of this followed line Oh how you’re mine. 2004
