AgainA Poem by Maryam MottahedehAgain I want to go there To the respite place and recharge I want to go there To the hanging glider on the edge of the cliff On that crescent moon I want to feel it whole It’s movement in glow turning blue And smell the rosy smell of kitten comfort in my room I want to feel it in my cheek Against my bone In my nostrils Up into the glandular pathway To the center where hormones and pheromones are made To the delicate DNA strands And the weave of RNA Down to the atomic galaxies there Emitting from the secret of Black Holes And fill up whole again
I want to fill the orifices of feeling so deep To lose sight And gain the wild untamable truth that lurks within Go to that place and round out whole again
I want to join the voice of butterfly wings in the heat of summer Where cocoons are a mere dream Faint as the rain soaked in dirt remembering the storm In between the ordinary and patience I want to find The capsule of time and open eyes Where I lay in and in between Inhabiting dreams that push against the skin Inhabiting thoughts that push to fingertips And something intimate that opens to forgetfulness Of there being something, someone else Other than this And deep into the unknown Discover this So true that the reason of sky is blue The cage of mind in birth And the opening of soul Housing a heart And fill up whole again © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
