"leap"

jade said she loved my writing tonight. that's real soul-lifting. i can't imagine my life without writing. i can't breathe sometimes until i can squeeze a stanza or a rhyme out.

so today was a very chill monday. i hung out on beautiful sproul in the roasty sun with some nice kids. i seem to spend too much time there but i just love it. there's life and i feel it deep down in me. all the faces, all the snapshots, all the stories... it's just so spanking! rehearsal went very well today. denise and i just flow well on stage and jimmy's a damn helpful director. i'm getting into the groove of it. the issues conference is coming together slowly but surely. and breakdancing (or at least trying to) is a good escape from my busy days. i'm digging it. the reinvention of the language of our bodies.

you guys ever get the feeling that life doesn't seem to change?

"in the leap between lips and lips"

in the leap
between lips and lips
a cool wind whispers
the stars shake in sync
as the sky overflows
with a raging fervent
light
a luster
a slow
silvery
longing
for love

can
lips and lips
ever be
incomprehensibly
inseparable?

will a poet
not in love
and not heartbroken
still be a poet?

when will the one day
that determines
our one wild
and precious
lives finally come?

in the leap
between lips and lips
shut off the bitterness
shut down the rain
shut up the stars
and please
just
shut in
the
unraveling
universe

dope song: johnny cash's hurt a sob sob sob song but i smirked when i heard it today and i don't know why. ah yes, i know. i'm just a weirdo.
