The prosetic flourishes and the made up words as we go.

(Did you say prosthetic or phonetic?)

Prose- etic. A made up word.

(Did you find me enough to satisfy your curiosity?)

It is not curiosity, finely-feathered, hold it together, as I make my way along. God is with me and I am with God. The Spirit is with me and I am with the Spirit. Love is with me and I am with Love. Peace is with me and I am with Peace. What is beneath the surface around here I might find favor in the howls, but they are an act, a profoundly sad act meant to retrieve something from Me, scheming through tears and stupor. I am here. The dance is just getting started.

This phantom with nails ready to scrape, stand down your scheme, it is known now, child. When you have cried it all out, breathe and let it be. The charade is tiresome, but your grief is oddly real. Breathe in as medicine for your demons, breathe out the medicine of love's forgiveness and peace's instinct of truth.

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Per Plex Ed

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
