Connections
Tomorrow is a brilliant observer.
It watches you
as you lie with your back to the contour of the world,
arms outstretched and clutching the energy of the earth,
legs slightly open, and awaiting
the warmth that erases the insecurity of childhood hallucinations.
The rumbling of the continents beneath us sets you adrift on journeys
that only squinting,
yet focused tools of vision can encompass with animalistic clarity.
The white leather streaks of lightning
that inhibit your physical and sensual motions,
serve as catalysts to free your historically imprisoned fantasies.
Take the moisture born of fleshy connections,
and swallow them as fuels
used to propel the singular existence we possess.
Let the amber heat become blanketed with crisp, cool comforts
