a future memory
June 19, 2010
who knows. tonight i piece together a future memory. dream a new reality, breathe into the in-between, suspended questions whose answer is simply: wait. a halt, a paused will. momentarily pacified. what will follow? no repetition, no room for error, unless. the door opens, unstopped by fear, released from regret. the emptiness so full, the fullness devoid of expectation.
to come, that which surpasses the realm of flesh. stone formed around principles, in time, cracks. bursts open hesitation.
lead lips to water, clear lungs of lead, shake the tree of being until her leaves fall away, expose her branches naked. the earth seeded and wet, there is nothing more to be done. the green will reveal itself, flowers arrive when due. not before. nature never tardy, the sky never dry, never cruel, without reason. remember, and wait.
