One

Blowing cool 
Across my jaw, 
Infiltrating the 
Heavy-handed humidity,
Clouds and waves of words 
Birth
From white tufts of vibration;
Bouncing between the tall, 
Overgrown grass
Growing unfettered 
And free.

Ribbons of 
Butterscotch and daffodil 
Set the scene 
And suspend the songs of 
Cicadas 
Spitting forth words 
Like evolutionary edicts.
 
Declaring us bound and sworn 
By familial bonds, 
Their plotted points 
Corresponding
To the unique sequencing of 
My own matrix;
My mission and existence,
Trussed with their resonance, 
Is endowed with success,
Guaranteed 
By the power of One.
 
“Speak”, they say, 
“Sing. 
You are the story.”
Recite revolutionary rhymes 
Of the times 
You wandered 
And played 
And stayed in the moment;
When you were the king of all things 
And also, 
The servant,
Fervently releasing burdens 
Into the 
Deceptively ordered 
Creative clutch 
Of our transmutational 
Embrace.
 
Penetrate places 
Disremembered 
In the embers of pretense and 
Surrendered 
To the seductress 
Named Separation.
 
Draw out deception, 
Incite insurrection, 
Illuminate pathways 
In ancient directions.
 
Solder sprinklings 
And inklings 
Of sorcerous elements 
On 
Indigenous, 
Meticulous, 
Brazen intelligence
So that 
Reintegration may be catalyzed 
And sovereignty mined 
From obscurity.
 
Deposit sounds in hard grounds;
The antiquated trails 
Of minds 
And times and 
Insidious veils of illusion.
 
Watch confusion 
Dissolve 
And fall 
Under the spell of 
Electromagnetic embrace;
The soft force,
The source 
Of all being.
 
Observe regulated recall
Repent, 
Show deference
And dance in the light of 
Transformation.
 
Watch it evolve 
Into seeds of remembrance, 
Squashing 
Outdated sequences 
Of subjugation 
And shame 
And sorrow, 
Like immersive, 
Hypnotic, 
Neurological vines 
Reaching out, 
Revealing sprouts 
And 
Intricate fractals 
Of chartreuse and lime,
 
Like chlorophyl snowflakes 
Native to summertime.
 
Apply sweet verses 
And lyrical charms.
Take up arms, 
Sound alarms, 
Dissolve the illusion 
Of tyrannical harm.
 
Invoke ancestral rights 
To speak to life 
Miracles 
Shrouded in shadows of the human psyche 
And dormant codons.
 
Project the contents of your mind’s eye.
Reveal
The cyclical nature of time 
Through 
Verbal vignettes
And transcribed pantomimes
Of siblings 
Tickling the petals of Primrose, 
Engaging nature 
In intricate tangos, 
Carrying pollen to-and-fro,
Before resting 
In salty beads 
On the skin of our kin.
 
Spill forth plays 
Of undomesticated dancers 
Merging with music, 
Moving and musing,
Transcendently lucid;
Conducting 
Change and birth through Hertz;
A weightless assembly 
Of 
Undeniably 
Intertwined 
Sentience,
As you 
Rejuvenate 
Beneath the sprawling shade
Of the earliest settlers 
Of your homeland.
 
Hold out your hand,
Feel the earth breathe;
The breeze bleed 
Into chirping birds 
As they herd
Luminescent particles 
Undeterred 
By misunderstanding.

You are standing 
In everything.
