excerpts from a life

these are just excerpts: so often the way i live and move breathing is artwork and stepping into the sunlight turns the orange day on

these are just excerpts: each time i wake slipping cold-toed from the bed and choosing the day's opening music everything is arching upward.

these are just excerpts: falling to sleep quiet-eyed and calm as mountain lakes- i am beneath the mountain, i am the mountain, the mountain comes to me

these are just excerpts: long walks around hillsides, dipping into the waterfall canyon and sitting in dark caves watching water parachute downwards

these are just excerpts: absolute moments still and easy-faced just watching the clouds roll by

these are just excerpts: a cup of tea waiting for the mountain to rise out of the morning mist (every second is aching) i am here now just laughing at walls and horizon lines

these are just excerpts: a cigarette in the afternoon shared with the sun

these are just excerpts: the sensation of facing the sun letting it's warmth roll across you while your back is coated in cold day shade: the sense of being two places at once.

these are just excerpts: everything about my everyday sends surreal into a tailspin and off from there (moon-targets and marigold mornings)

these are just excerpts: the motionlessness of evenings

these are just excerpts: the simplest way to speak the gentlest tone the largest echo the most certain of all afterthoughts are wading in, danger ahead,

but here i am (as you), a witness to the unfolding of the universe

and why not, right?
