inside my animal mind

I move from smell to smell

 

touch to taste, flavor to color

afraid and ecstatic 

 

running fast asleep or with hunger

yesterday doesn’t matter 

 

I jump higher 

than the ghosts can reach

 

we meet at a spot 

near the water

 

you appear 

startled when I see you 

 

drawn to something in me 

I can’t see 

 

nothing said 

is important 

 

you already have determined 

the course of action

 

to take us deeper 

inside the mystery
