Womb

Two. It’s what they want
To make love with tonight
They see me as the most loving
Morning in an outgoing horizon
And an old friend has her hair
In blonde like honey styled up as curls
Pin combs and innumerable wheels
That resemble her tendrils
On boards and shoes people skating
Rolling around
Under the bridge
I am singing Guardian Angel
I can hit every note
Word for word as unrecognizable people
Are also chiming in
All circling in their own space

I am asking
How can someone that tried
So hard fail so badly
How can he be so good at it
And feel so bad afterwards
Dumb good
Smart bad

We all fold ours differently
Perhaps the end will feel better
Than starting over again of course
Clarity versus mystery
Hypnosis holds the key
If the puzzle has no facts
How can the picture possibly be real
If he lost his discovery
In your eyes
At the edge of your coat
The silver cannot be won
The kingdom of his heart
Is broken

Reeds are blowing at every passage
And the meaning is unable to reveal
An actual identity without a contract
Like a certificate of birth
And still the womb knows
What it held
It needs no paperwork to prove
A love for beholding it’s
Internal miracle

Panther spirit galvanized
Protection for the self startled
Out from the shell glowing black orb
Circling around claws out
Careful not to oversleep
Every reordering of words
As they reach the surface
Teach and nurture us
How to breathe
Learning how to walk again
On the same two feet
We’ve been standing with now four
Accounting days, months and centuries
Funny they should be so capable
Yet somehow disagree
The memory gap between
An imprint unforeseen by
Many who have never been
Outside of what was once before
For where they’ve lived till then
Is inside of what’s been cultivated

So two steps outside restored
Both dogs out the door
No more one foot in and one foot out
No need to hold onto the other
We’re not remembering in this
Moment it’s just learning
How to walk again
Familiar motions in a different way
Inner strength and the panther is
Invited with no cage
To guide to smell to lead astray
From the pattern of the past ingrained

Ingredients to be stirred in ways
We’ve yet cooked up to live; to crave
With all the recipes and notes
All the structures confidently
Confirming a free configuration
Of discovery and exposure
How to grab hold of the thing
We were always fighting for
But in the wake took time to heal
And could not rationalize
A halfway mark was tread
New beginnings toward the homestead
In the same satellite that was
Launched five decades ago
Regeneration of the womb
Outside the soul
