In thumping thuds of far off drowsy drums
I hear the restless distant call of questions,
beckoning me closer to feel their boom
and beat within my body louder the taunt,
the reverberation, of needed answers
and the eternal feel of standing naked
staring silently at a sea of stars
and thinking, if gravity is a force
my thumping heart’s within it’s orbital pull.
So, too, my mind is gravitational
and bound to the electric force of Earth,
as listless wanderer of drums and beats
that hammer their sound in to my loud mind
when in the midst of sluggish eye or dream.
Supine and Standing Dreams
