privy as I have become
to the lava of your inner core
I sense a chasm of self
awaiting a warm greeting of sorts
from my sunlit rhyme
to the meter of health
pale lecturers are we
travelers of life
cast as if out of
some ritualist's realm
whether we pause
or compare
or exchange
or laugh
each matter is turned over
and confidently shared
the moral compass
is synchronized
and the word flow
up ended
to be repaired
yet again
and it is here
that our thoughts so high
collide with the page
stabbed by the pen
while being excommunicated
from
just such moments
as these............
