reconciled hunger

bagels bacon family dynamics
snow out the window
12th floor in upper east side
watch it all get tight let it all get loose

we regard this whole life as a
                                                       beautiful dream
sirens down below
gazing out the broad clean windows
an absent-minded mug
wakes me up in my own left hand

jaw line tenses with the sound
the round of old small arguments (not me? not mine?)
relaxes with the touch...
all the electri city runs down
into the sound ground
going home upriver to the source of the streams

out there, newborn babies across
the frosted park.
joy is not in these phenomena
it is ethically-sourced in the waltz
of changing everything

thumbing a book of old Thailand's someone else
infuses this swarthy light
defuses the questions of wrong/right/wrong
oscillation unclothed is a dance...
can't wait on sidelines,
dive in with cutting teeth both feet
letting go, when you're fretting so,
thrive
