On Dating Cymbals
An awareness, blatantly answering
that one lingering remaining
question that continuously gets lost
in translation--
Eeee-- aaa-- re...
--nunciate!
Hold it.
G flat.
VIBRATO--
Flutter the strings-- upbeat
Fast-- like a moon beam--
Now, gimme an accordion and tambourine--
This is not a morbid
Dance of Seven Veils
As, I am not your archetype -- Salome--
And I-- stomp-- my right foot--
Hitting my heel--
Signaling--
Clacking the board--
We clap twice--
An announcement or request-
A demand at best--
The only option is Yes!
Our livelihood will not suffer.
Late in life-- the mare still here--
And the dog still has a few more tricks...
Suddenly, left field's ass appeals--
Reminded of the call, a sounder
and Mary Oliver's poetic questions
are the essence of Gabriel and Cecilia's
points to ponder--
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with this one wild and precious life?
I'll say, Yes! Again and again!
Regardless of being right or wrong--
Regardless of anyone hearing--
Regardless of anyone acknowledging--
Regardless of it being time--
Regardless of anyone debating--
...Drinking this wine.
I know my job by heart--
Keeping the light in this Temple
Burning as we grow a future--
Bringing a hope--
Including left field--
Women--
and Children--
ie. Everyone-- this TIME
So, you inquire how I know--
If a cock crows thrice--
And a neck can turn ahead--
Refating the hands of time-
2000 years --a sword at my throat--
A gusting wind-- and
The pressure of this unquiet mind--
You cut--
That cut--
The next cut--
This River--
My River still flows--
Wide and deep--
This time-- I'll spin.
And I-- stomp-- my left foot--
Hitting my heel--
Signaling--
Clacking the board--
We clap twice--
An announcement or request-
A demand at best--
I'll walk forward bringing all that I am.
Reaching out-- offering
My hands--
Standing at ease--
Before I exit--
To finish this part-- an anchoring
Foundation of peace--
Knowing--
I hold You,
Just as much--
As You hold,
Me.
My last few lines--
4-now...
Shyly - yet with some kind of
outgoing bravado -- also known
as JML's dynamite--
I'll meet you with my eyes--
You'll see my soul--
Acknowledging - while my voice -
The not so faint voice of my heart
that does not care how long it takes--
while clearly requesting--
don't carelessly push this river.
That voice--
Conjures shaloming the words--
Respectfully for the opportunity
to be in this life- I'll say confidently
and cordially knowing--
Passion for the Struggle--
Yes! My pleasure-- it's a great LOVE.
Thank You ever so much.
Xoxo! JML
