Dare
I step into dream
space,
a place where
worlds swirl
like boiling
oceans,
drowning clouds;
where ghosts sing
and dance
boneless,
unaware that their
souls are bare
in barren
light.
I slide into
the pulsing heartbeat
of God’s own
spirit
astonished at the storm
unafraid of the tornado
that
stirs my sight
and rends
my thought of who
I should be
from
my eyes
showing me only
who I might be
in a sigh,
in a
laugh,
if I only
dare to play.
Dare to stay.
My Real Name
My real name is an
inaudible secret.
Yesterday, my name was gradual unraveling,
But
today my name is outlandish declaration.
Tomorrow, on the verge of
summer,
My name will be steam cat.
Secretly, I know my name is
exotic porcelain,
Easily shattered and precious.
My name once
was frosted eyelids.
In my dream, my name was
Purple
eternity,
A private whisper from God.
