Senses -1998

Deep within our soul

A voice calls out through the pores of our skin.

 

Emulating music for the despair:

If we care, we stare.

 
 
Smelling confusion, we quickly escape to songs.

Breathing danger, we rely on beauty.

Over lands of awareness into the realm where motions of ground become an episode of condensed senses.
 
The fiery eyes signal something absolute,

the next to speak as if words are inadequate for us:

 
Blowing heat wave of solar proportion

It has a potential to break earth and dry the sea.

 
 
Pressure lost, flavour found

Licking the eyelids of time, taste of memory we gain

Behind the lips, forever sound.

Crossing spaces with our minds, we look with wonder.

The tongue of freedom, where speech is nothing but wonderful exits for the neglected.
 
Beneath nerve endings and skin thin fibre, vibrating cells and smooth sweat, the feeling of sight engulfs us.
 
Structure of bones, steel as the far away sky,

tissue flipping, wavering, dissolving, becoming liquid.

 
Any one of the special powers of the body by which a person is conscious of things: sight, hearing, smell taste and feeling.
