The sower and the seed

[betters]

"He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

I am to say
what the world can never say

what you can never say
to yourself.

To be the blood run red in your veins
and to proclaim words you may never
understand.

I am called to generate a pulse
bleeding deeply with life
beyond rib cages and
create rhythm in vulnerability.

So I will shatter your breast
and break a song
soaking into your breath.

I will sing to you
a parable
so you may sit down
cross-legged
on carpet squares
letting the lint cling to your trousers

and I will invite you into
a world burning beneath your skin.
