I think I’ll take a warm bath

I think I'll take a warm bath

And let the water decide what happens to me next

Whether it will slide over and into my infinity

Moist divinity

Whether it will take my choicest sins 

Into the basins with it

To wait to be welcomed to spin into wine

So that diners find succor

Pucker their sipping lips over it

Before praising the amenities

And creating gods and ways to dance for them

Decide whether I am worthy of water

Or worthy to taste the tasteless in the wine

Worthy to dissolve into it

Until my skin is as filthy or clear as it is

Until all the answers to the sphinx

Find in me their sole solution

Rather bathing in me than walking on seas.

A human being-question chasing after both God and nothingness. The internet is a disaster, but our starlessness might teach us something. I welcome our constant experimenting with ourselves with open arms, for ultimately they are attempts of life at living and growing in life. My dwelling is in Key West, while the dwellings of my loves are Indiana, New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts and Arizona. These spaces are nothing. Love abides and love embraces.
