I am untidy
unpressed
with travelers clothes
everyday a day trip
to the surface
to be visible
chaos has joined me in underwater grotto
love follows quickly behind
it thrives in subterrane
(the space chaos creates)
as water ascends like spirit
matter floats out of place
desks, chairs, floorboards
a reminder of the trouble I cause
just from existing inside
bubbles take their stand
each with a tiny red flag
marked with a quick note
in micron pen
'fear'
'control'
some of them have sketches
with detailed instructions
I try to force them into
pie chart ink
they read:
'contributes'
'value'
transposing
just before they wash away
As this building falls
the rubble hovering
into apartment landings
stairwells leading into unspoiled halls
the stories attach to new bricks like barnacles
We walk up to the door
Together
Opening it to strangers
Telling stories
I integrate
I bloom
In willful ambiguity
(the space He creates)
The mystery unfolds
