Drifting in and out

[Guest guest]

i drift in and out of

swimming

in silence

a mean season and a denial,

my life rings a dinner bell

and strawberries answer

songs of amen

and

faces in oceans of

awareness

speak in tongues

and whispers of the dying

in whales that swallowed Jonah-beings

wretched

in songs sung by Ben who

sounds like Cat,

an alias

as my hidden desire

of You

as only I can experience

living an omen

raised

in voices in prayers

of strength and of profundity

danced again on edges of blades

raised

in duality,

in

angel clashes

in battles

with humans,

 

songs left

on the tip of my tongue

in sorrowful ashes
