Paths Taken

I want to take you along.

Come if you will. There is a path I wish to take us toward. I've been there and I've seen it but never with you. I wish it could have been with you. I wish I didn't know how to get there. Maybe then we would arrive without my knowing, without my having to know. That's not an option for me any longer.

I will ask you to come, perhaps even to trust me. I have never been to this place knowing full well how to get there, so our arriving will not come naturally as you might expect from a guide, but quite unnaturally, as a stumbling oaf beckoning hither, the sweep of his every limb rudely and regularly crossing and breaking his gait.

I promise you I know. I know the path, the way, and I know it will be safe for you. Come with me. Perhaps I need your lead this time, perhaps it is a way you've been before too.

Day One

Loose and uninhibited
Tight and poised
Angled toward an objective,
Sprawling out into everywhere.

This is a beginning.
This is today, tomorrow.
This could be forever,
Or never again.

This is where the rest goes.
If it doesn't fit,
Doesn't belong.
This is where the rest goes.

This is where the beginnings go
The ones that start anew
That could go everywhere
Or end right here.

This could be anything.
It could be you, it could be me.
If we knew which of us we were
We could speak the essential word
Here.

Opening a singular moment
Crafting a dynamic relation
Creating a multiplicity
Bursting forth from singularity

A universe is borne
Of you's and I's
And we's and they's

Coming to a hopefully
Coming to a finally
Coming to an us.

This is where we are.
This is where the rest goes.
Let the rest be set
Let us just lie down
Here.
