Here To Stay? Here’s To Stay!
Guide your soul from the occurrence lest the reoccurrences occur
Each activity brought is stayed and life, stained
Yours and yours. Each brought, yours and yours
Yours’ not yours; yours’ for theirs
In potential perpetuity, the transient
Cankerous
Cancerous
Here’s to stay!
Guide your body for the day lest the night emerges
And looms—in potential foreverness, threatens to loom
This body, yours for yours
Transforms
Theirs for theirs
The transient transgression, made everlasting…
Guide your eyes lest it sees and blinds
Binds you to darkness
Light lies turned light’s lies
Light lies at the foot of darkness
Whiteness, ghastly, ghostly—darkness
Guide your feet, lest it sways and stays
Each wrong turn, a resolution
Each wrong turn, a resolution
A promise of a retreat, an assurance of further advance
Both, concurrently
A misstep…
Here to stay
There to stay
In potential perpetuity…
[Writer’s note: I have always liked how the same word, the same phrase, or sentence can mean different, opposing things all at once with little modifications—and sometimes no modifications at all…]
