Water will find a way
Water will find a way
by jaie miller
Save our dreams/ continuous, slow / wings expire / grown men weep into the chest of a female destroyer / eyes numb / the story continues / my rivers are all secrets / to the goddess in me/ reverse the sequence to be honestly free/ Fallen angels – Rising demons / Damascus / don’t make us ascend yet / Don’t mask our defeat / Dominoes / for the time being our hearts speak/ Had you spun the web of time/ oh, but I won’t say it/ Pierced by colors on my way to see you/ I bled a dream / From the mouth / From outwards / From now on / I follow the current of the abyss / I exist since then/ since the accident/ In most silent times I hear the voice of everything/ you push me up to the stadium, down the flight of stares / and I am wonder/ made powerful by possession across the state of emergence / merging streams /released as her voice/ its years of traveling / water will find a way / it’s a state of emerging seas/ so if you’ve plucked the equilibrium from your soul/ continue to spread it across equal distance/ watch people dance / recognize yourself /
“Do not become rigid or sticky; be like water…flowing..adaptable.” -rough paraphrase from a quote in the Bruce Lee book. Water is life, and this prescriptive poem seems to say as much. It’s written with imperitives, which i love to do too. Slashes give it a keen look, i thought, with no punc. to PUNK people. It slithers rather gracefully like a pet water mocasin. But yeah, water seeps; it replenishes; it cleanses; it takes away sins.
i really liked that first line (or sent.): “Save our dreams/ continuous, slow / wings expire / grown men weep into the chest of a female destroyer / eyes numb / the story continues…” Very dramatic sentiments and action thruout… are we finding redemption, vindication, or meaning here? Maybe a little of all, i think. I sense mostly conflict and struggle, with perhaps some peace thru hope at the end. Now i think water will find a way to give me a shower. All should have wondrous ‘opera’+ ‘tuna’+ ‘tee’ (shirts) …///***^^^&&&###@@@!!!
Gratzi, Ms. Miller!
