fast train through Spain

This poem is from the new collection, This Wild Arising, that I’m publishing on June 21st (Summer Solstice).

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

We move fast through this tunnel,
lightspeed, warping
to fit into the box
conceived of in separation
we ride lightning like water,
boom and flash flood rivers hatching 
through portals that other worlds hide
until a kindness remembers in us. 
watching children play
at being famous
witnessing the world acting as if
cruelty 
is novelty and artistic
and love is hoax,
nobody can quite get or give
all these broken shards of wholeness 
stitch themselves together again
ok, humpty dumpty, sit on that wall
or fall, 
the light
shines through
the cracks 
of your 
choosing 

May your choosing bring you home.

With love,

Andrea
