AS IT PLEASES
I want to talk about when
I feel it
NOW,
Fast,
here
but as soon as mouth is open
w o r d s f l u t t e r a w a y
and feeling d i s s i p a t e s
IT returns and I’m ready
I shout it out loud!
well, not really
only inside
and that’s not good enough
into the air is where its meant to be
so why
can’t it come out there
when I beckon, want it to…
no answer comes
no prediction can be made
who knows what, why
no one
but what lies, rests inside of me
yes
and it will come out
when its ready,
not me,
and i’ll be happy
and let IT be free in the air
where it can sing
and maybe f l y
as it pleases.
