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
