Alternatives to Survival Wainsgate Chapel Hebden Bridge
A dance
A Prayer
A conversation
A miscreant lecture scavenged from distractions
foraged from everyday make-believe.
A series of little wishes, regrets, pleasures
whom gather in little truths and whispers {incarnate}
between foraged
Imaginings & Fabrications.
A series of little mysteries
who gather as doubts, gaps, threadbare
testimonials
from amongst the acknowledged facts {phantasms}
Homo Sacre
Hallowed,
Our Heart begins as a Blood Red Halo
INUTERO
Folding over
WHOLEY HOLEY HOLY
Face Opens
With Closed Eyes Sideways
a sacred mutation
adaptation
a (mis)symmetrical empathy
Discarded Displaced misplaced contradictory animal identities
self deceptions
metaphorically imploring
primary secondary tertiary emotions
a prayer of curious inquisition to the
anthropomorphic subject of Love
make a wish thrice
fright freeze flight
I gambol gently with my life
My Oh My secret tail
My Oh My star fish navel gazing
My Oh My gills now floating bones prettily chiming in miniature.
Does the Universe seek to Survive?
Insisting on Bliss
as a dark matter of fact…
Those who come to be
Shadow me please.
