north to caribou

 
 
annihilation
let lightning strike

as i walk to you
in light
let me look into the
blue
of your left eye

unzip myself
naked in vulnerability

let fear dissolve
like a sugar cube
held in an eternal mouth

let love enter

walk backwards blindfolded
to the start line

(cyberworld is fast forward triplefold)

twirl around and around like a child
before she steps up to pin the tail on the donkey

if i had no sight
if i could not hear
if i could not smell
i would still sense your presence

through mile and mile of road
white snow covered ground
the dark green of spruce

the dull light of a sun
in a gray january sky

you are with me

no matter
you have rejected me
your anger, impatience, inability to accept me
for who i am

men.... for them
i am too much
too little
too fast
too slow
too drunk
now too sober
have too much time on my hands
don't have a 'job'

please
step back to the start line
allow me to flow through you
let me be

today you don't like me
or want me

yesterday you did

have i changed so much in a day?

be aware how quickly a wind can come up in fall
how the waves build in winter
in a small boat
one must be always in the moment

yesterday gone
it's today now

walk backwards
blindfolded to the start line
twirl round and round like a child

laugh

take a step forward
to pin the tail on the donkey
remove your blindfold
walk into the light of me
i'm waiting
for your lightning kiss

annihilation
