taking flight

i am desisting and divesting

of money

and i am a freer man for it

it may pass through my hands this way and that

but i will give it no more energy than that

i will be contributing to others

and otherwise living beautiful visions of things

it is redemption day

after two years and some five odd months

the last five being the oddest

it was a good run

enjoyed quite a few of the crew

but when i'm done

i'm done

-----

happy birthday to everyone

it is a fine time to rebirth

it was my hands and the ocean

and other benevolences

who all lifted me up

i'd like to thank trader joe's

that we ended the current form of our relationship

amicably

i prefer being friends with exes

whenever possible

-----

today i welcome back a sense of sovereignty

of self-possession

i am speaking more clearly

and a little louder

and enjoying the sound of my voice

i have found the literal meaning

for the phrase

spring in one's step

it is to move through hoards of people

with speed and grace

skipping to a slightly latin groove

-----

or maybe brazilian

they overlap for me

the capoeira dance

and the salsa

shoot that reminds me

i'm late for my cajun dance

meetup

i was trying to get to the church

on time for dinner

but we stayed too long

watching the 528 hertz

green flash

over the ocean

at heart chakra vibration wavelength

at the coming of which i played

that celtic song of joe strummers

on the fiddle

so by the time we got over there

it was only ice cream

then free man ran away

-----

i thought i'd get the fiddle from the car

and find someone to jam with

but somehow here i am

taking space to celebrate

the abundant choice to leap

and grow wings
