bequeath bequest


Odd to so arise thinking the tide between folly and wisdom, both, neither one or the other.
Not and/or but and/both.
A nodal point.
Momentary peace lasting. At last.

When the light is right, the darkness of innocence, all the impermissible events line up and fall like marbles straight down not bouncing but becoming an order, a spine straightened. Enlightened? Not sure. But better said, and simply, set free.

Chuckling quietly in the dark the friend says yes, and yes; and yes wordlessly.

Twitching, writhing, groaning beneath the reptilian cold belly, a millstone really, ground to dust by my own misapprehensions

Returning to my youth run away at seventeen standing beside a barren tree truncated in Ohio reading about, not from, Baudelaire

Now I see being tightly woven in a blank tapestry with Jesus in a dream manacled to a similar tree in miniature
anarchist together laughing Oh Dear God Almighty! Free at last!

Along came an ancient Chevrolet coup filled, a family to headliner, of migrant farm workers making room to carry me forward towards my goal from which I boomeranged; returning to the oppression I had fled from trying to change it.

Sometimes – remember – we are made of majestic stuff like the star we orbit evolved from a source before everything else. Heaven/heavens within sacrificed for a bowl of stone soup.
