Suffering
Suffering
Come and get
Me
Sink your claws in deep
Scratch the itch
I like to keep
Hidden
Lest the crackle
Rises
Unbidden
All alone
Hear the hum
All alone
Heart beat
Drums
The end
Near
Can my heart
Also hear
The song bird
In the trees
Calling
Grace
And love
And comfort
Down from the heavens
To meet
Me
Flight
Flight
Freeze
Hand open
Offering
Relief
How do I hold
The hand
Made of
Light
And love
When I am made of matter
And touch
Does matter
Skin
Muscle
And bone
Speak a language
Distance
Does disown
There is no denying
Space is separation
And separation
Is suffering
And life is growing
From seed to
Pea in a pod
To baby
Screaming
And kicking
And sucking
And nuzzling
Then stack
Legs on feet
Walking is falling
Living is eating
And shitting
And growing
Is going
When it is time
Heart wrench
For staying
And praying
Cannot make
This
Last forever
But waiting
Can feed
A lifetime
To regret
And my feet
Have not yet
Succumbed
To the quicksand
Of decay
So suffering
Come and get me
Maybe I will run
To meet you
And maybe I
Will run away
But either way
We dance
Today
