In Communal Motion:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s The Way Love Goes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

within the space of oneness, the now-time, the imagining<\/span><\/p>\n

of alternate realities & the wrestling to shape life<\/span><\/p>\n

into a long dream, extended tension-release moments<\/span><\/p>\n

initiated out of the throes & ecstasies of creative giant steps<\/span><\/p>\n

intuitively leaping mundane changes past kleptomanic anguish<\/span><\/p>\n

deep into the high pleasure of giving, of growing up & out<\/span><\/p>\n

into the world, toughly, tenderly touching & being<\/span><\/p>\n

touched, exhibiting the health of humbleness yet hearty<\/span><\/p>\n

enough to trek unafraid south & east fleeing the north forty<\/span><\/p>\n

back into the people pulsing spirit-heart of<\/span><\/p>\n

what our enemies perceive as dreaded darkness, but<\/span><\/p>\n

without the noise of english smutting the atmosphere,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the vibrations of song our only speech, dance<\/span><\/p>\n

our locomotion, soul-filling intra-communications,<\/span><\/p>\n

finger snap & the easy slide-dip of the hip slicing<\/span><\/p>\n

of human gods gliding grace through evening air<\/span><\/p>\n

going somewhere with blue gardenia-ed women & red\/purple<\/span><\/p>\n

male joys smiling shoulder high, encircled<\/span><\/p>\n

in rhythmic enrapturement, arms hugged up tight<\/span><\/p>\n

in direct contact with broad chests & jutting breasts,<\/span><\/p>\n

dance\/stepping to the top of the thrill of being just so<\/span><\/p>\n
