unlock the key
to rightbrain potential
batter down the war
between hemispheres
create from the rubble
of consciousness
actual gods of air
open up the doorless wall
inside and out becoming
one by one to pull the bricks
from crumbling mortar
and become one
one and one, self and other
one to none
got of suffering,
we beseech thee to
generate music
with melody
we seek thee in rites
of distant sands
gods shot down from the air
if the sand is wet
and burning
does the ocean care?
and if the land beseech thee
to envelop it, to then reply,
I'm burning too.
god of deliverance
we beseech thee deliver us
from the blindness of our own making
from the making of our own blindness
from ourselves
god of perseverance
grant us this simple prayer
to make us other than we are
to make us like gods of the air
to make decisions for us
so that we may be free
god of flag and country
do you have blood under your nails
do you have nails in fresh-cut pine
do you have regrets?
god of my intention
do you speak with right brain or left
or center stage, eager for applause
