jim we are in our bones by Marina Dawnjim we are in our bones
as holy, negotiable. timing the place
between flame. between the light
clicking on in our mouths,
as the sun
we are not yet getting to, we have arrived
at love. the fevers coalescing, the brilliance
behind the eye, that holds us
as we walk a part, the third & hovering
mass above us knows no thing, no truth
bends our faces,
skies. makes what is beautiful.
though the flower does not come up from soil
to our hand, blooms in heat, in hard rain, blooms
colossal. as beneath the shirked body,
that glistens, fat & unwanted
in the heart a jewel passes unknown to us.
yet we are whole.
in our bones we are, in our large ache. 09/21/2002 Posted on 09/21/2002 Copyright © 2025 Marina Dawn
