thank you for holding space for me in
such a way i was able to observe myself
go insane go off-center go wandering
through shadows in the green water

so many times experiencing this energy -
the tsunami way, the ignited until blinded way,
fire spitting from mouth like dragons

i burn as i learn
from you
watching you
moving through space
barefoot and trusting
the ground will
be there for you

my intention was to be honest,
forthcoming whether asked for or no,
giving not caring if anything returned,
longing for sweat and recalling how
our bodies fit together

i was ready to be immersed in you
that scared me the most, the way i was
making myself available, i felt me
manipulating in an unhealthy way

and in the same moments i saw it as
the mini mosaic murals that were being
created by many. the influence of muse
as pure creation. we have little to do about
the doing of the thing - we only
have to accept what is coming through as
