You have been alive for 17,725 days.

Read me a bedtime story

But I won’t get sleepy.

I’ll get angry.

 

The myth works on me.

for days –

 

Why is a man the saviour?

Is the man a part of me

and I save myself?

 

III

 

If my baby dies

I’ll shake my fists at the 

universe(?)

an atheist,

a heathen,

forsaken – 

no faith.

No faith in god

or the gods

or the moirai.

 

What’s the difference between

trusting the soul’s journey

and 

fate?

one 

so amenable to me

the other 

leaves me in rage?

 

reject the idea: someone else is deciding.

fondly believe “my CHOICES” –

either way, do I believe

what happened to Josh 

is a punishment 

for some bad behaviours? 

 

Is it the Indigo Girls;

my reincarnation?

Is it modern trauma informed;

ancestral trauma?

Is it shamanic;

all connected?

 

                           lens

Which modern religion can I see this through?

No dogma for me

 

IV

 

make my morning

Presence

Gratitude

Prayer

Intention 

to the sun

and think of

17,724 days

there was no prayer –

judgement creeps

– the days of “no awareness” –

still an awareness.

 

All of the unforgivable CHOICES.

 

bongs

cruel

anxious

lust

afraid

lonely

mean

….

 

balanced with others’

 

treatment 

exploitation

desire

adoration

“love”

appreciation

admiration

….

 

and the deja vu

and the future dreams

and the prophetic dreams

and the embodied knowing

and then the perfection of all days

and the things that are known before they are experienced

 

Legacy

Healing

Sense making

 

pale into 

(self compassion

self forgiveness)

grace.

 

V

 

As I walk through the gates of fire

now, in the perfect

perfect

perfection

of every non choice

 

I am resigned about the fates. 

Let them weave, measure and snip.

 

I’ll be here, present

 

and breathing.
