This gesture is bold but I've been bolder
and will still beholden to the emergence
of gold among all the hues of every day
grace and romp pomp and circumstance
sounding a reservoir with radar instilled
accessing veins and ardor effect of light
protracting essence emanations fine line
crossed passed saturation bar none order
complete compleat pause without pause
heavy lid heart intoxication the beloved
song of songs effortless orchestration as
nested within nested frequencies ripples
tides overflow how sure plumb line cast
transparency of transparency this flower
next face
I will say here everything that ever sang
to what sings within me for that Song is
that which is Beyond the beyond houses
that which cannot be housed and haunts
in the clear of clears not bother or fright
casting a most precious crystalline hoar
frost ground of grounds latent buoyancy
only to shuffle once into the royal flush
of all time winnings empty of any spite
even benevolence lighter than air ether
Tesla knew could even see Thus it is so
in not only me but you you you and we
flying gliding whizzing by how free we
the sound the grace note sheer glorious
next face
we flying gliding whizzing by how free
casting a most precious crystalline hour
flying gliding we whizzing by how free
in not only me but you you you and we
are a rolling jubilee #rollingjubilee has
arrived finally the jewel seeing as freed
lotus in the jewel The jewel in the lotus
open sesame the jewel says open freely
with that opening the true reality shines
we all have the lock and keys and these
shape shifting wonders meet zero point
to zero point no exchange no cost polar
opposites dissolving no borders remain
next face
speaks plentitude that which flows thru
over around percolating permeate swirl
roiling such to free up the mineral base
the heart regulator such without no life
the mystery of which can’t be replaced
governor de-regulate sustainer director
director sustainer de-regulate governor
can’t be replaced the mystery of which
such without no life the heart regulator
the mineral base such to free up roiling
swirl permeate percolating around over
that which flows thru speaks plentitudethis confluence the conversation within

oooh opus!
ReplyDeleteI want to see this actualized as a sculptural cube, a pattern to cut, fold and tape, to roll and then read. Really enjoy so much about it, and feel like there's a lot more to find.
One thing I love is "once into the royal flush
of all time winnings emp" triggering thoughts of the luck that brings us here at all, the royal flush odds of simply coming to be alive like this.
Also really fond of your style here--rolling rhymes, and the concentration of punctuation on face 6. I find this really fascinating.
Rolling jubilee: so interesting you should hashtag this. The idea is certainly ascendant. It came up during the InterPlay performances I recently played in.
Hey there Daniel, Thanks so much for your rich comments and opening another conversation, too, about Rolling Jubilee and your InterPlay performances. I'm very interested in seeing your perform sometime there and hearing how #rollingjubilee came up for you. Somehow the hashtag came up while revising this piece and it felt so perfect to write it in that way!
ReplyDeleteI did construct the Platonic Cube last night and performed it or read it at Shapeshift (a new space in Fairfax where an open mics are being held on Monday nights). It was very fulfilling and received quite well. Last night, I was called their 'resident poet!'
I get from your comment that I could go to another level of presentation of this poem, such that when it gets published, gets out there, people will have something to print and cut out, so they can experience it as a sculptural cube! I like that!
Yes, yes. i thought the hashtag was a stroke of genius in the poem, and how wonderful that it is "by accident" (though of course "#rollingjubilee" already had to be in your computer somewhere in order to make the autocorrect).
ReplyDeleteSo glad this poem has become 3D physical and aural as well! You could roll it and read, roll it and read...
One of these Mondays I will join you up at Shapeshift...
