Today/forever

I threw back the curtain this morning, flooded my chamber with incredible waves of galactic light. The subject was simple: oblivion. So maybe it wasn't simple. These days all my sentences begin with "I." Or if they don't, they certainly don't fail to put me at the center of their meaning. I tried to undo this, accusing myself of arrogance and conceit (are these things subtly different, or merely stylistic options for saying the same thing?). Nuance, dribbling off of everything, on the corners of our mouths when we are talking, makes all but one word fall short of the point. I cleared my throat, thought better of it, pressed my lips together and held poise. The concert was a denim nightmare. Thirsty, contorted, limping around the village with a powerfully full bladder, something occurred to me. There was a flash of insight, as on the side of a passing railway car, just as soon there as it was gone. I felt around in my pockets for something relevant, something to give somebody, a little offering of relative insignificance when I heard the rumbling echo underfoot. That sound demanded my attention, invoked a physical response, as an infant's yearning squeals bring a woman's breast to leak it's sweet nutritive milk. I fell down on my knees against the soft earth and released myself. Firmly clutching the surface, I lowered my fragile form to meet the pulsating source. Where hearts reside, a depth and warmth unfathomable by rational means, there I found a folded secret. Pressing the rich earth away I moved and uncurled, tiny leaflets peeled back, a stem grew long and springy. I felt the sun's promise against my cheeks. Oh how long I have longed for this, to let all of myself swim in you, great sun drenched nameless dancer, great dance itself. The point of convergence, distant and luminous, breaks the pattern, reinvents itself. Before we are naked, take care. Follow these threads throughout your inner mosaic, let the surface reflect an inward knowing. And now when you are so bright and full and unable to contain the exuberant flooding, then dance, dance yourself silly, splatterpaint, stampede, variate, tumble, proclaim! Remove the covers, throw back the curtain, be naked again, and joyous. Blossom wildly, ecstatically, forget inhibition, make love, dream, sing, elaborate.
