faceless, filled-in,
sideless in a roll or spin.
That's where I'd like to be.
In between “Give! Mine!”
and “I belong in the trash”
Is a place where
I am here with you;
In between rejecting a
stupid, unfair world
And rejecting my
ugly, weak self
Is a place where
things are born naked
of debts or promises,
and merely are—together.
In between bitterness
and hope
Is a place where
all things are growing;
In between rejecting dreams
as tricks that lift me only
to drop me down,
And worries as pointless
interruptions of soothing sounds
Is a place where
one constant opportunity
is cycling (is my halo) by,
too all-over-the-atmosphere for me
to catch most of it before I die,
so I watch it, better and better,
learning how to dig my fingers—
as the lathe of this
sun-stroked earth
keeps turning.
In between too restless
and so, so heavy
Is a place where
every animated beast—
seven-legged spider,
rot-sedated grub;
me that wounded morning,
me this gorging evening—
comes to dance around
a core
called
peace.
