EXHALATION AND ANXIETY

 

Sometimes I want to run and dance

And leap for joy

Outdoors in the brilliant sun

Reflecting off each leaf

Illuminating every feature

Of our most beautiful world

While at the same moment feeling

The uncertainty of it all

As if it could just vanish

From my sight –

Still be there, mind you

Just gone from my observation point –

Looking at the same sea shore

But it is just rocks

Various sizes and granular texture

And yes, hundred of humans

And all the accoutrements

And attitudes of existence

Although just grey beings

Until the rainbow descends

It’s arched promises

On my golden head

Yes, it is summer again,

All the youth explodes

I run as though without mass

Just a flowing entity –

The imagination at full throttle –

She sings with me

Under a shower

The water warm

And cool at the same time

Just like exhalation and anxiety

Into balls balanced at opposite end of the rod​​​220830.2
