TuMoulTion

no reassurance on the path deliverance Drastic transition; raw, vulnerabewildering exdentity, extasy, catastrophe, epiphany shedding skin. Deliver me from the nostalgia for safety, comfort and ease. Fabrication, confabulation: we make the path as we go, minding matter into meaning… moulting myself, moshmeaningfully.

Bomb Shelter

Most of religion is dedicated to creating a bomb shelter and calling it hope. I’m gonna build me a bomb shelter and call it hope, I’m gonna fix me a faith ’cause I need my dope, I’m gonna climb right in when I’m at the end of my rope, ’cause I don’t want to fall

Suspense

In suspense.Tethered tautas a present possibilitybetween past and future,between puppet and angel.Gathered into the torn tensionof momentum and calling.Mortal in eternity,our cracked fragility,endures the stress, straining. What longing-calling,voice of eternity,could dare us,and bring us to dare, the crossing? Eternity’s pure whole notes –somehow heard –disclose our infirmity.Restless, unfinished, incomplete,despair tears usfrom our security. With such
