Let Yourself Be Free
Evolution from the FishThis grandson of fishes holds inside himA hundred thousand small black stones.This nephew of snails, six feet long, lies naked on a bedWith a smiling woman, his head throws off lightUnder marble, he is moving toward his own lifeLike fur, walking. And when the frost comes, he isFur, mammoth fur, growing longerAnd silkier, passing the woman's dormitory,Kissing a stomach, leaning against a pillar,he moves toward the animal, the animal with furry head!What a joy to smell the flesh of a new child!Like new grass! And this long man with the student girl,Coffee cups, her pale waist, the spirit moving around them,Moves, dragging a great tail into the darkness.In the dark we blaze up, drawing picturesOf spiny fish, we throw off the white stones!Serpents rise from the ocean floor with spiral motions,A man goes inside a jewel, and sleeps. DoNot hold my hands down! Let me raise them!A fire is passing up through the soles of my feet!— Robert BlyCynthia's Site, InstaMentions:Okay DonkeyPsaltery & LyreGood people doing good things ---> Random Acts' Lantern Fund, How to Help MN Master List , How to Perform an Act of Kindness LocallyFood Not Bombs,INARA, MAP, Islamic Relief for Palestine, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's FundLegacy of War FoundationUNHCR,*I own and profit off nothing in this bizarre hubristic venture.

Searching for a Trail
Surprised By Evening by Robert BlyThere is unknown dust that is near usWaves breaking on shores just over the hillTrees full of birds that we have never seenNets drawn with dark fish.The evening arrives; we look up and it is thereIt has come through the nets of the starsThrough the tissues of the grassWalking quietly over the asylums of the waters.The day shall never end we think:We have hair that seemed born for the daylight;But at last the quiet waters of the night will riseAnd our skin shall see far off as it does under water.Rachel Lauren Myer's LinksMentions:MemezineElise TranRobert HassBrenda HillmanAda LimonMatthew ZapruderWild Roof JournalThe Archetypal ArtistM.C.
