A Swallows Tale

Contributed by yangdantien on Sunday, 10th December 2006 @ 03:01:58 AM in AEST
Topic: surreal





Gasping, joking, are you
choking the chakra again?
Hacking the jugular
and carotid jungle
pulsing nerves and
deadly capillaries
with canopy crowning
the bloom of mind.

Eves apple actually
handy larynx
to the heart streams
swirling pools in babies;
blue ascended green.
Blackened and blocked
by age and all the
lies we tell ourselves.

Poem cleanse
wings flutter spirits
fanning soul
in candor breaks;
the dust of
brittle speech
taints the ear with ash
listening becomes phoenix.

So Hermit rescue
spent seven years
in quiet...
just a razor tip
and ink made
from gall and comfrey.
Tattooed every inch
in sutra & scripture
let bare only
the throat
which has no shadow
for false stories to hide
under.

Preparing for winter
in the last year
scouting for fallen
timbers to warm
and live.
Cords cut by hand
the ax bit into a trunk
that screamed.
The bark flesh bled
and with all muster
bending to whisper
''Sorry'' the wound sealed
in greens sprouting.

The wind rustled
leaves danced to
a song of inspiration
''Love'' was uttered next,
the log took root,
began to bloom
and bear fruit



AJPIII
