A World in A Breath

A World in A Breath

A Poem by Butch Decatoria
"

Still attempting to form a shape, an attempt at a pyramid ... the poem and idea behind it - I love...

"

 

I

collect

letters to form

words/into sentences

phonically sound it out/loudly

making sense of it in my head, a speech

lauded from written lines/marching armada of

meanings. A Book which defines them, these ants of

artful communication,/ for when they are upon each other,

they build paragraphs/to pages,/pyramids of chapters telling a story

a creation of imagination/a documentary of salvation,/ a novel for you to

sit in your wonderment, to hit you like a pile of bricks these books in a library

                                     they

                                began from

                       a tiny creature called a

                  letter, like an insect it colonizes

              into a hive abuzz in activity & possibilities

    grows the more it knows like pyramids erected in Egypt         

beginnings from a grain of sand / thoughts and  imagination                 and

                     questions /                  

                          musings  stacked                                  like stones on foundations,

      to/find/a/home/in                           every/memory, louder/than thunder   or/death  

                    creating          futures                     

                                 I form                            

  a world in a breath ....        Letters into words                  take flight

                                      from the hearth                                of my mind                            

                                 from the heart          in my breast

                              to the universe                in your nest                      

                    the mysteries                                       the  gift of

      t h e s e    r e v e r i e s              t a k e   i t s 

            r e s t . . .
