Reprise

[Queso]

So quiet I could hear

 

the spider bungee jumping

 

off a shadow book shelf

 

up above,

 

surreal silky astral spider web trails

 

like a dream,

 

like a dream I hear Earth

 

whisper Turtle's Katabatak

out of a small fire

 

of eyes,

 

Stars Twinkling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pulse

 

between the eye

 

in the palm.

 

Dreaming now

 

of river hands

 

spilling rainbows

and truth through the muscles

 

in cosmic waves, and anxious shudders-

 

CLOSE YOUR EYES

 

after the brain

 

storm

 

rains

 

one division;

 

One thought

 

One Heart

 

Beat

[Queso]

withdraw the sun, draw the dotted outlines

 

of night.

 

peel apart the chests and devour

 

the inward light.

 

Solo- with each word withdraws the soul

 

resonation we are scanning to take flight.

 

 

(so)

 

 

 

disavow a moon, erase the insides

 

of day.

 

carefully bind the backs to keck

 

a humming darkness.

 

without will or word rescinds the old

 

body we believe beneath

[Queso]

It was a time to meet, repeat, retreat and

trace the grid with the souls of your

feet, Soldier, unaware of your

duty to the light.

 

We long to suffer. Differentiate.

[Queso]

Daddy,

Your legs are long-

crawling up the wall.

 

And then a fox stands up

and whispers to the moon

"I love you"
