see all the ways

so summer so sudden and this heat is knocking me around again
and i'm someone familiar, or at least i learned again i can pretend
theres no need to push and pull with the rhythm of my beating heart
theres no need to feel each star out there and each mind-body-soul pushing day by day
not all of them, for now, any way
either way i'm not the god i thought i was
i'm not your everything
i'm just one vessel for everything again, to look, to know what everythings can become

i heard a song and my heart began to radiate
i saw a stranger and for the day, it was my own stranger
no matter who's behind the wheel, cars bring comfort
as long as we're moving and the beat is rolling with the tired tires, over and over, again
slower around curves and i can think a little more closely, a little more slowly and close to the inside
until the straight open road and its all free form
that line is a circle, really
the tight lines draw forth and back to the loose lines
we make figure 8's and spin

pool party, part pool
summer's here
i go back to having wishes instead of dancing moonbeams down through my hands
wishes for the right kind of music to set fire to the night
the right kind of me, the spells to be cast over all of it
spells of clarity and reality

copper sparks my own electricity
my body bends and its quiet again
i see the life like it is
a day at the beach
sometimes the sun is too strong
sometimes its like medicine
sometimes the waves knock you down until theres sand and blood and body bends unknown
sometimes the waves are steady and hold the body up, pushing up to touch sky, pulling down to remember the ground

i heard it all before
me and myself are getting re-acquainted.

down by way of a new constitution

recklessness was restlessness and pieces are precious
