I am supported by the universe
Falling off Earth’s jagged circumference ungrounded at the roots
dislocated and clenching clumps of dirt
from above or maybe below
All this grav(e)ity, this gravity
Wanting control
direct this dissonance of life
laying lifeless in the death of ego I know.
I know there is knowing, in the unknowing,
In the cracks of cognitive dissonance,
I hear all this wisdom in the void.
Echoing
Instead of hooking fingers onto withered weeds, i extend these veins, an olive branch, a frantic heart plants itself on the prefrontal cortex
In a beat, I say
Maybe - I could be a seed.
Be quantum physics - universe reconfiguring bursting me open with magical dust of starlight and moon.
Expansive molecules, repotting into Hope.
plowing my hands around this galaxy of being and having faith in the unfamiliar. Instead of overwatering. Letting stress filtrate, I stop playing at God while being a god and too human simultaneously.
Pg 777 Surrender*
*I, still floating and untethered to this nothingness clinging on to hope in one fist in faith is all there is left. Dear universe… I am listening
