Engulfed by the earth
Alive
Encompassed by the sky
Alive
Words shrink to
Amazing!
Beautiful!
Fuck. faaak!
Really?
Wow! Wow? Wow.
Language is young
Arrogant
Separate
In the center of as far as my eyes can see my ears can hear my skin can feel
My mind fails to really understand and my body takes over
Visceral
(i understand–my mind needs to be involved)
In the center of my experience
My language becomes animal
Aaahhhhs
ooohhh hhh
mmmm m m m mm nnnn n n g g shshsh shs hhhhhh
Everything
grass blades growing covering toes ankles calves knees
growing stinging thorns to fend off the bees?
Grasshoppers checking out the new terrain
Moss grows between my legs and armpits behind my ears
And language ceases to have meaning
My mind stops fighting
My fingers interlace with alfalfa my toes disappear
And night setssilence
And then
Extra heart beats
Heart expansions
Stomach churnings
Skin tinglings
Eyes waterings
Air exploding into sighs
If it were not for all the bloody insects
Would i shed all the humanly objects
My shoes off and socks and bra
My eyeglasses
My phone my wallet
Off off off
It got dark
And i could hear all the small sounds
The creeping lives
I feel hungry
Thirsty
I need the toilet
I will watch another episode
Check in on my friend if she got home yet
One bite too many
I turn around and go inside knowing
There will never be another night like this one
When i return next time i will stay a minute longer
And maybe i will get my chance
If i dare
If the night is still here
To earth to sky to blend to be
tomorrow
