Journal entry - Motion

 

Motion

alive with what?
what pushes the candle flame
what pulls
what stills
in between the motion towards the door handle
and when the handle is turned,
what there?
the reflection, i can see myself
in the words of another
—how letters bounce in the air
before moving to the heart
without leaving a page
or, shall i be contented in seclusion?
shall i not chart strange landscapes
across my bearded smile
or, should i find the prices
at the grocer's to be endearing?
the terror of citizenship?
the martyring of brothers and sisters?
human being to human being
i see candle to candle
and a lot more too
