beyond the reach of any particular condition
tradition or absence of appetite
fulfilling a long-term mission
to break down barriers & to be
found in the knowing
to be something more than the known self
one continent & then another
napping under the rain
the crying timbers of another world
hinting itself into the now
empty spaces
the taste of things passing
being lost to their former selves
forgotten just as they come together
in a new constellation
of tempests & filters
the loose pattern of manners
for taking up the weight & praxis
of an impossible confluence
unnameables unquestionables
all the scope & parry
the key elements of rediscovering
the uphill work of making life
motivation slips away
then comes rushing in
then departs
like a proud unconqurable sea
that will not fit its fortunes
into the niches & slurry
of a daily tribulation
time fades because this game
of motivation & antic dismay
keeps on / progresses / asks ever more
drying the language of impetus
robbing it of its unstoppable qualities
in the first step
you can almost feel the last
already existing
the giving in
the air of no further
though it be only & rightly so
another inimitable opening...

Not every person is a writer, by trade, nor should they be, but there is something about the act of writing that serves the writing individual as if it were a medicine for selfhood, a healing venture into clean waters. Especially so when its intent is to be expressive of secret regions of the mind or to lay out new experimental vessels for such expression. [Keep reading...]
