Big Bang Praise Song. ~ Christopher Johnson {Poem}

Focus on breath

Focus on the area

Above the upper lip

Below the nostrils

Focus on silence

 

in the second

it takes breath

to circumvent

in silence

the heartbeat

reverberating

through circulatory universe

 

focus on the praise song

of breath and heartbeat combined

echoing through hallows

of the Temple Flesh

the Body Sacred

 

focus on breath

focus on the calcium delta

incarcerated flutter

that if not locked behind bone

would God whisper

hurricane futures

 

focus on the praise song

the upshot spark

that connects us all

focus on now

 

with or without you

tomorrow will happen

focus on the music

between the meditations

 

capitulate to light

refracted through

the drop of condensation

sliding down water glass

 

focus on the Icarus

spiral vertebrae descent

of angels

perched between the spaces

of clasped hands’ interlocked fingers

 

focus on how fingers

attempting to air script sentences

can only reshape silence

focus on the silence

circumnavigating heartbeats

the upshot spark

that connects us all

 

let fingers recall and mimic

the first rhythm held

in third trimester ears

 

focus on breath

the God whisper

the transcendental symphony

abstracted between the cadence

of sole and concrete

walk this way

 

for a brief moment

focus on the weight of the world

the worries and woes

and all the things

that may salt your wings

 

inhale

 

exhale

 

the worries and woes

are dandelion spores

you just

Fitzgerald Torme scatted

Across a blank night time staff sky

Now unfurl your wings

Freeze frame time

Long enough

To allow

Dandelion spores

to big bang blossom into

The upshot sparks

That constellation connects us all

 

They are the A sharps

B flats

And C majors

Following the G clef

Birth of this composition

We call life

 

Let wings orchestrate flight

With no particular direction

Knowing wherever

you x marks the upshot spark land

You are a part of a divine psalm

 

pay no mind

to those waiting on inspiration

want it

like fire wants to breathe in

 

create inspiration

like womb incubated freedom

yells syncopated rebel first breath

igniting silence

 

be tongues of flame

shiv sharpened on asphalt slang

schizophrenic gargoyle nerves

ready to punctuate the darkness

 

focus on the darkness

behind eyelids

how conscious wrangles light

the way earth reclines

in cupped palms of universe

 

southpaw gypsy

three hundred sixty-five Sisyphus dance

around the sun

 

focus on the heart beat

the upshot spark

that connects us all

the big bang praise song

calcium delta

incarcerated flutter

that hurricane future

God whisper

That

We are indistinct

From every molecule

In the universe

 

Focus on breath

The meditations between the music

The big bang praise song

that hurricane future

God whisper

That

We are indistinct

From every molecule

In the universe

 

Focus on breath

Focus on the area above the lip

Below the nostril

Focus on breath

Breathe
