a pyramid- the basis of all civiization

Swallows

Spits

Rises drips stains -rips canyons

floods

faces

places we’ve known

you’ve known

I’ve been

In rainstorms in reply to sunshine I’ve been in rivers

damned

god damn

god damned the world

there was a flood

of forces and horses and two of every kind

with three on every side

enough to leave you aware that you are only one

in a sea I can see

I feel happy -like many things- I’m not even sure

But I do know

jesus sandals are always in style

Everyone wants to walk on water

everyone feels in waves

Don’t make it holy

Tonight it will be
