blather
wait_not_await
kss dance a signal across receptors
vapor intoxicates, trembles of a chance
but the reception here is terrible
messages in language has languished
paper prisons and wrong turns.

filter streams of living for clues
and mask doubt with blank consumption
haste will only distract, scatter clues
that connect to show a pattern in the moments
the map to an impossible connection
or nothing, arrived at without wounds

gentle nudging is allowed, a tentative poke for substance
but static and circumstance will splinter and distort
the path cannot be clear, steps are made breath held
eyes screwed shut, breath gone
and the blind stumbles form a quiet encircling,
at the center of which there is something to hold
pauses fill pages with solid motion, simple enjoyment

screaming inside, but restrained, near immobile
small movements belie a mystery, challenge offered
patience and wonder will hold imagination’s reigns
letting the lines fill themselves with color
the willing captive, unhurried and dreaming
can hear music between moments, content.
