Come close
To the hollow drum
Inside of which beats your heart
Get intimate with the gripping
Only listened to, will it unclench
Don’t try to create something beautiful
Or ugly
Those are only words
Stay curious
And self-forgetting
Prefer quiet
Until you notice the stillness
Bound up in the heart
Of exuberance
Prefer motion,
Until you find the
Wind that innervates
A still night
It’s ok to give up for a while
On being you
You aren’t going anywhere
