As I sit here it becomes clear
I need to create an outline
for a poem
that is ready to be written
Funny how a poem
can seem to need an outline,
to mark out everything
it could and would say
i) All That Is
ii) What now is becoming Known
iii) What is no longer necessary
iv) Reversals of figure/ground
Perhaps it is the space
between outline and poem
that I’m really interested in,
the visible reaches between
Wondering, will anyone else
see what I see there/here
as I map out the bridging
between seen and unseen?
Good thing I’m prepared for this step:
my new footwear is designed
for multidirectional levels of grounding
in body/mind/spirit and beyond
I have socks with holes in them,
but wait, these are black holes
and wormholes, as time disintegrates
& even temperature is refigured
Pants are no longer restrictive
nor all they were once worked up to be;
who wears the pants when domination
and control crumbles all around us?
Keep your shirt on (or not) but
find your colors amongst the
rainbow, as well as infrared
and ultra violet ~ all fluid light
Speaking of light, the naked eye
sees so much more than once upon a time,
marrying the inner eye & embarking
together, seeing expansion everywhere
The outline becomes omnidirectional
Just as time becomes No Time
Things are no longer what they seem
It is now easier than ever to Let Go
Interesting take on writing a poem. Did you use this one at the Open Mic night? How did that evening go for you?

Yes, I did read this poem aloud at The Spoken Word Open Mic. We had a great turnout this month with many diverse voices, but with a full sense of heart and shared community ~ seemed to be felt by all. Regarding the “interesting take”, when the Muse arrives and inspires, I listen and respond! 🙂 Thanks so much for your comment, Dad!
