I am not a mechanism, a tool
Some structure
By which, if you employ, you may use to heal old wounds
Nor are you for me
These scars have nothing to do with you
You may not attend to them
While I hunger
While you hunger
We are not consumables
We are afire
We are to touch and be touched
While considering what time has in mind
Let the sounds in — all of them!
Have them ramble around, bouncing off the humidity-coated walls
See which ones bust through stop signs and find rhythm with bird songs
Find which ones look like quiet conviction and calls to action
Then mull about together, dialogue, and make sense of this world with them
Create order from disorder and call it good again
At the end of the day, we must
Construction clatter
Bulldozing, then building up
Disciples list’ning
Should the sounds in your head
Become allies
You would not mind
You would not mind
Befriend them, then
And they’ll leave you
No longer alone
No longer alone

I was hearing her
People do this don’t they
God am I the only one
Dialogues with ghosts
Of events played out or not
The flow then ebb
Of adrenaline and resolve
Praying Praying Praying
You creatures scurrying about the green, soaring through the blue and reaching through the grey, I cherish you.
You sustain the creature holding this pen, elate each heartbeat and applaud a good path.
You Leader Creator, you humble peace-seeker and we creatures -we make a grand team.
James 1:17
