urgent strides

NYE13

To invoke

the beach

a cold night

sand clumpy from the

mist that falls

on my crown like pixie dust,

with each step I’m deeper in it.

Walking in fog

like walking through clouds.

A chill strikes my spine

shakes me like turbulence, but I tread on

towards the waves possessed.

I come here dropping off crumbs

and leave with gems, verses, stanzas

inspired by grains of sand, fractured

lights in the water, sandy cat’s purrs

and opulence.

It has me surrounded.

The richest Cali real estate,

true blue glass house, one with patina walls

even! Coastal luxury living invokes fantasies

I can only stroll by. The waves dark and bubbly

champagne gathered in a giant cauldron.

I take strides across The Strand, my hand across the page trying

to find a way.

Urgent strides

breath, body

going through

marathon

I put myself through.

Had to be there…

there

a minute ago.

I’m here

but already

have to be

over there.

Shoulders, joints

a coil about to unwind but gotta push it down harder, more, cram more,

my fucken suitcase.

Whatever, it worked.

Invoked.

Don’t stop writing do it for the creation, for the fun for the fuck, for the applause, doing it without it.

Strides, precision

A needle in a haystack

Find it! I can and I will

No le pegue al gordo,

still gotta feel lucky.

I help you find

I'll help you find

Cause you've lost

I'm a finder, a finder.

I'm a good find.

It takes precision to find

Often Translated

Into pressure

Grinding teeth that's

How fine those nuggets are

Ideas, fine as molar dust.

And here I find myself

Amidst another ocean reference

Like coming out of fog. Lights dancing with, on top the fog

Urgent strides to the center of something

leave you breathless.

"Don't go in circles

You're not in the circus!"

But still be a clown

Invoking

With my upside down frown

And big shoes to fill

Urgent

It's an emergency

Do or die.

I does to take these strides

Must, urgent, move out my way

Elbows to your sides

As I deliver this

Urgent

And focused?

the farce of multitasking.

urgent bound to miss something

Misrepresenting my urgency

Looking at the tics go by year after year. Got a crick in my neck and tennis elbow from it. While my work before me goes discarded

Carcasses turning leather

In the heat of my jealousy

Envy- misrepresenting my urgency.

"Are we there yet? There yet?" Lose sight of my surroundings. Retrain the mind, discipline- soldiers changing around the hour= always ready for a fight. How bad do you want it?

How bad?  

How bad?

Stop worrying ‘bout the bad 

Say it like  you  mean  it

And mean it.

Write it then go over it

Like a second hand

Second guessing

Each word

Especial

Know what I mean?

Did I know what I meant?

xxoo,

Musings of a night owl

rising

From the inside out

At dawn.
