the heel press

this

(whatever-you-wanna-call-this)

will forever exist

            (firmly plantedandgrowing

it

(whatever-you-wanna-call-it)

will always subsist

  absorbing the miracle of sunrise

  seeking the oracle of sunset)

no studious/careful/mindful construction of convenient

forgetfulness

can forget of this

this is what this is

no trail of tears can distort/deface/destroy

a pristine feelvision of it

it is what it is

can’t/won’t/couldn’tifwetried deny this

this defies assumption

it dares definition

can’t/won’t/couldn’tifwetried ignore it

this requires reflection

it deserves attention

we can numb the realwarmth of this

we can silence the magnificentresonance of it

we can snooze the deepdaze of this

we can fear the baretruth of it

we can close the blueyes of this

we can abandon the riskbeauty of it

unfortunately…or fortunately

this

has a breath of its own

burstfills the soul with any attempt to foldhold&hide

it

has a sense of its own

multifeels the emotions with any effort to moldhold&control

this it

is our gold:

   :fish swimming in eternal oceansunshine of you&i

we cantilwedied try this

delineate the lines

that define this

to make sense of this

we cantilwedied fight it

demarcate the shapes

that mark it

to make right of it

fortunately…or unfortunately

whether we like it or not

whether we choose to or not

this

will forever leave (y)our (so sweet) trace

it

will always save (y)our (so gentle) face

wherever this takes us

whoever this makes us

however it breaks us

nomatter it pains us

forever thisit loves us

thisit

is safe (like never before)

‘cause

this’s unconditional

it’s inconsequential

(consciously:withoutadoubtinmymindly)

thisit

like a dream

will forever-always (be) : as us)

present in our deepest parts

‘cause

thisit

is

it

and

that’s

all

that

matters
