Bamboozled

I’m losing my grip on what’s been gripping me

Losing hold of what I’m holding onto

Up to here with never being here

Finished with never finishing the finishing stroke

It’s not complicated, my way of complicating everything

I wish that I could just stop

Stopping seeing what’s directly in front of me

With is in mind, I’ve reached the decision to entrust what’s left of me

To the project of trust itself

That’s possible, you know. It’s possible to trust fall into the palm of the universe

Never asking about the ending because there isn’t an ending

Because I’m not the beginning of anything

Least of all myself

I believe that I grew out of my mother as she grew out of hers

It sounds obvious, but it’s not. It’s harder than you think to believe the most basic things

Still, I know that the fruit of the tree of life was never forbidden

Only guarded by love, like a flaming sword, like bodies colliding in the vastness of a heart space too old to fathom

I believe that everything is falling but nothing is falling alone

So I’ve decided to fall for everything, be taken in by all of it, be bamboozled by the world
