SPRING DREAMS (are made of these)

The iceMelt of mySelf
is knocking off rust belts
& Bible Belts & looking
for words to express how
Alive I’ve felt since
A sunRise geyser sprouted
in my chest. i am housing
Warmth. i am freeStyling FRESH.

I AM SPRING DURING WINTER.
SUMMER DURING SPRING.
I AM AHEAD OF EVERY GAME.
THAT ETERNAL BURNING FLAME.

I AM LEARNING I AM LOVE.
I AM TURNING INTO THAT LOVE.
TURTLE DOVE WINGS FLAP
& FREDDIE MERCURY
RECORDS GET SCRATCHED
& I GET TO TURN UP THE THERMOSTAT
ON LOVE.

The Heat to come
Will reHeat The Sun.
It will bee-become
Something sweeter than honey.
More needed than money.
& will flower, blossom wilt & fall
When Winter, Spring & Summer Fall,
like well-wished water, into One & All.
