Don't Give Up The Living Ghost

Have you fire?
Stoke it, stoke it.
Flames in quandary still grow
flickering into pronouns of the self:
you, me, I, we, us, them.
Do the labor; strain but temper.
Give birth to the soon to be cold one.
Unmoving Stillness: inner world off.
The double does not sense but it does
relate. Eyesight with out sockets,
ear-sense without lobes,
Taste without throat;
the living ghost!
Feel ever so lightly with our delicate
paper flesh as butter-moths and dragon
flies and lighter still feel as helium
in the ground.
Take time and space, spread them wide
as one thing: the present.
Be just! How quick it all goes!

Well thought out and with great depth.
This piece seems to fan the flames of inspiration itself.

AJ .. been sifting through the back pages of your
introduction to YPDC .. and wow .. this is wonderful.
I agree with Jecks .. what a piece of inspiration.
I adore the last line .. incredibly profound and so very
interchangeable with many a situation and/or circumstance.
Your capacity for deep thought never ceases to amaze
my friend. Beautiful work ~
