LIGHT ABOVE . VERSIONS GLOW BELOW

                                                                        
                                               “…the scales of musical light began
                                                 
    to darken and in their place grew dark
                                                       humps and fins”

            Already here . value^stops at consumer loading

Yes, wonder how our bed stalls trade . Mondays
            knocking couldn’t come faster.

            Sometimes in motion round the world cravings
            wash ashore in bubble wrap | we started using
            sunshades since the find^remove flame currency

            honorary chips on foreshore heads, pave back
            work habit strain . the ankle part of our future
            mending still.

            for each other; field power cuts wouldn’t
            allow stretch bonding | most nights they prayed
            love over life would spill grow even.

                           \ Watch how events flash . now through 
            memory drive account; pregnancy uncouples,
            forest first feet pause sensing | this shuffles everyone,
            sources everything.

               THE RECEIVER

                He is the end of the longest road
                    to what he is ready to receive.
               No Buddha, nor any Christ, no God
                    except as through all of us IT breathes.
               But to what degree of consciousness
                     of the spiritus within the spine?
               Till what possesses us we possess,
                     not Love’s realm, only theirs | ours | yours | mine.
