I wish to go deeper
far deeper
than the place of thick light
that beckons
beyond the soul pit of tempting confusion
through the stink of drama that ignites me and causes me to
embrace
a kind of life
a next to life
a nearby life
an adjacent but not quite life
in here, the worm turns over, mouth stretched
and with its vagabond tongue
strokes the kundalini snake…..
better judgement
is still a vice
and leaves a stain of rationality that
pretends to justify…
no thing
may justify even an eye flashing lie
no thing may cause
a blood soaked rag to
comfort me!
Tempting though it may be to roll in ecstasy,
to flush the mind with heart blasting fire,
to fuck the earth with every intrepid cell
no amount of plain english can dissolve this pigment
to water
and
no water is thin enough nor thick enough
to be the truth of
absolute dissolution

After reading the poem and seeing the image my mind went …”WOW!” This may be one of my new favorite artistic painting of yours…still experiencing loss of breath.

Mother of god. I don’t know quite what else to say. An adjacent but not quite life. An eye flashing lie. This is pure poetry, Poet, I don’t know how you put the words together like this but such a pleasure to read. I think perhaps one of the favorites of yours that I have read, and that is saying a lot. Fuck the earth with every intrepid cell… Perfect stuff.

I don’t know how they come together either… I wonder how…?
I think as expressers we have preferences for words and sounds and sometimes a combination feels delicious and I use it… not sure that they always make sense though in those moments i usually decide to trust my brain that has read thousands of books to know even if I can’t remember…

This is a terrific poem and I found the profanity perfect -it was just the right note to hit.

Thankyou Jeremy, I like to make sure my profanity hits the right note!

What I liked about it was that the sound of it worked just right. It seemed like hitting the right note at the right rhythm with the right resonance, if that makes any sense. 🙂 It has a musicality too it (and a carnality) which bring the poem to life.
