Woke up in my bed as the sun went white –
inverse of the way I fell asleep last night.
Turned and kissed my pillow 'cause I felt so right,
I was swallowing the urge to scream...
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm aliii—ive”
Dropped down, with my toes; floor felt cold (what a gift).
At first my legs hung heavy, but as my pulse lifts,
The floorboards all start quickening. I feel that shift:
mid-neck, mid-chest, mid-arm –
thump-
thump-
thump...
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm aliii—ive”
Next, my skin is glowing, and I think of friends.
I find some food; I break it with my teeth, and then
just listen to its bubbling trickle round the bends
through layers of me unseen.
(But still,
I know that... )
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm aliii—ive”
My brain-folds chart the future while my hands touch now.
I feel the flex of focus fold around my brow:
A hunt for purpose, “Why?” and once I see it, “How?”
Like this, by this, this way:
(once only...)
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm aliii—ive”
There's a part of you
that's divinity.
There's a part of you
through infinity.
And it's the same part of you
that's inside of me;
It's the same bit,
the same bit.
The same bit,
the same.
It's the...
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm aliii—ive”
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm a l i i i — i v e!”
Sometimes we are single, but we're not alone.
And no body I've kissed was a complete unknown;
we're both electric,
fluid,
muscle,
breath and bone,
just following the urge to be...
“I'm a live,
I'm alive,
I'm alii i i ve!”
Lying down at dusk, here
clarifies my heart.
Samewise being hungry
makes my palate sharp.
I'll kiss my pillow
one more time;
to dream's an art:
the first step
is to feel,
all quiet...
“I'm a live, I'm alive, I'm aliii—ive."
