Poetic Manifesto

there are no rules
iambic pentameter
for whom?
I write in afib
oscillating at irregular frequencies
between the all encompassing "you"
and this ever expanding version of myself
all these jobs
breaking down boxes
learning how to construct my own
world view
and now I see hope in the mirror
hemmed in
behind and before
there is healing in passion
in claiming and rising
to the occasion
of our unique designs
to bring about oneness
in what we call time
as an answer to the calling
I write
idiolect raw but never careless
off kilter and perhaps piercingly so
it feels like chaotic good
