some people settle
for a rational island of self.
I yearn for a shoreless open sea.
I don't look to live on on-land logic.
I want for the wisdom
of currents in passing,
within and around me.
I don't want the security
of land-lock as protection.
I want for the certainty
and truth of liquidity.
I don't want to live in
the dry-mouth metaphor of thought.
I would rather be
in the elixir-motion of being.
I would easily trade sky-scrappers,
for high-seas,
tall mountains for sea-deeps,
the habits of nine-to-fives,
for the rituals of sunrise to sunsets,
dust bowls and desserts,
for fresh water entries
and evaporative means,
and no black eyes
from being land locked in vision,
but instead,
in an ocean to share tears,
and if necessary,
in a small minded way,
even frozen lake as windowpanes.
for me to see through,
to an open dialogue sky . . .
