Truth!
I call upon Truth
Let your Self be known.
Truth!
Do not hold your hungry tongue.
Truth, bear Witness
Offspring of Justice
Fathered by what is
Mothered by that which will always be.
Truth, principled whisperer of potent prayers
Pregnant as an overdue season
guaranteed to have its ripening.
Truth, monstrous ocean vexed by toxic lies,
Sucking lightening from the sky
In a clash, a mighty war
for the souls of humanity.
Truth! You are summoned
To shatter me with your song
Expose the right from wrong.
Blaring as your scream may be,
Ravage me.
Glaring beast, do your worst!
You might rip the lids from my eyes
Shred my lips so I cannot deny
Burst my ear drum, tear at my skin
Strip me to my bone, but
It
is
Time.
All illusions must be razed to the ground
I open my heart.
I let you in.
I stand firm
in the roar of your electric wind.

A Place Under This Sun
The blasé gaze of the Sun makes me blush each morning
I imagine myself stretching for It to the four corners
breathed into, by the light of Its touch, ragged ends of night dreams
disperse, those of the day illumine
when the alarm clocks sadistic bone rattling digs in
the mirage touch is blasted into thousands of sharp seconds
the blunt object of 60 minutes beats my head
24 hours have me in a strangle hold
my squint breaks, as I try to magnify a single ray to a pinpoint
to pass it through the eye of necessities needle
in an attempt to sew a heliologic patchwork of brilliant ideas
that match the airy whims of my star sign
into an exact science as to why I should get up
to cast a feisty fiery glimpse on the equinox
of a reason for why I shouldn't just
play all day, only to stub my toe on the table leg of obligation.
The planet goes about its turning business
I wriggle under the food sac I am commissioned to carry
at birth, my national insurance number proof evidence
Do I resign to being placenta? My body the nourishment?
my mind expendable, irrelevant?
Plugged in, I can tune out
but at times, I am irrevocably distracted by
a heat, that reason has no business with.
It just is, captured by solar panels
on roof tops, screwed on street poles
fueling disgruntled cogs, people in buses, in cars,
on the cold pavement rushing by me,
blurred by the warmth on my back. The fog inside
evaporates when I halt
to lift my face east and bathe
for a timeless moment,
thinking of daisies in Summer.
