impo(r)tent

preface
antigravity defies the thirst that a dehydrated heart refuses to succumb to; it is being like water while disbelieving that gravity is its source of life.

exploring imaginary trophies
hidden beneath centuries of
symbolic characters

makes the feathers in my
captive performance
fly above an undrowned sky

where tethered to
prophecy is a silent
nothingness

a point of view
too magnificent in
its divinity to

touch me with
the honor of
authenticity

that even virgin skin
can distinguish from
the impotency of play
