Art and Community
was when we took ourselves out into the open something made us
some avowal we made to ourselves to follow on into the unknown
an arousal of ideas we felt inside deep and gutted as well as light
and spiritual so we urged quick quick up through the high rise of blue brilliance of what we wished for and took every chance for the wind to catch hold of our wings and found ourselves several times looking for remedies even then taking risks asking to be taken out of our bodies wind wind catch our wings separate our loneliness from the far reaches
though by then we were getting onwe were thirty years into the future
imagine what we were thinking our breath blood bones splayed out
with longing and sometimes we would say look at us what are we doing
and even now at ground level forty years on my heart thinks to stay wild
