essentializing

not usually able to relax

flat on your bed with your palms up

you're ready to let go

or maybe take flight

whole body still like a dreaming statue

mind emptying out

refilling with green leaves

floating through a sketched portal

of dreams

imagining

your mystical twin

in hugging dark jeans

with a bark-like texture

and a green shirt rustling

like leaves when he moves

standing inside a green tree

bearing little globes perfect

small gold spheres

the tree with your twin standing

on a square meter soil inside

a circle in the middle of the zapping

rush-hour traffic

on an island somehow connected

to like-minded people of all races

sexes ages worldwide likewise

standing on traffic islets

in trees bearing globes of gold

they're all shining

without explanations you're intuiting

that what's being done here

is essentializing

these working mystics extracting

the essence from life's traffic

helping the world tree fruiting

your mystical twin

he's lightly touching your hand

a finger reaching a finger

initiating

you into essentializing

you sit up with a start

startled

searching your mind and your wardrobe

do you even own those essentials

trying to recall the feel

of essentializing

you're thinking denim and silk

from the past you retrieve

a pair of working day jeans

and from the future you conjure

a peace silk shirt rustling green

never worn only seen in your dream

hoping to harvest a small globe of gold

how to teach algebra

to recalcitrant students

priestess of alone

snow is falling

you turn away from the window

turning inward

sinking down on your futon

snuggling under your duvet

still seeing snowflakes sailing

through the dark behind your eyelids

letting yourself drift like a snowflake

drawing a heart around yourself

with an inner light pen

imagining

your mystical twin

in a dark blue denim mini

with the roomy sky-blue pockets

of a fantasist mechanic

or a goddess

moonbooted

she's standing alone in the dark

snow is falling

with the bright lighted windows

of the high-rise in the background

she's the priestess of alone

standing solid in the air

with her hands lifted

catching the snowflakes

bearing them as gifts

for the gifted

time was

you were a lonely child

seeing through the surface

of the consensual world

but now it's time

you're still standing

in your soul's dark blue denim

you're not really alone anymore

and you've got so much to give

to the gifted

the universe is singing

come on lights alone

come together

bring your lights along

bring it on

together

your mystical twin

she's handing you a silky cardigan

hibiscus red

against the cold

shaping peace

early morning tired

didn't sleep enough

you want to stay a bit longer

in the baby carrier of night

make yourself return to yourself

the sleepy girl in the bed

curling up under your duvet

closing your eyes again

slipping inside

fading night

imagining

you younger

in a red silk princess dress

sprinkled with ladybird spots

there's a place

a place far away

you used to sleep on the roof

near the upside down bowl of heaven

ultramarine indigo turquoise blue

pierced with stars

being little

mum and dad carrying you

the blue pyjamas you remember

but in the daytime

did you really jump about

like a red silk butterfly

tutu swirling around your brown legs

now everybody's asking you

what do you want to do

you're good at languages

good at maths

you care for people

but most of all you want

to return to that roof

want to shape smooth

ultramarine turquoise indigo

bowls out of the firmament

shaping peace in blue containers

small domes made from glazed clay

or braided from soft textiles

smooth and rounded

as safe sleep on a roof

with mum and dad carrying you

and other sleepers breathing

safe wavelengths in the night

the red silk princess dress

may not be a real memory

but your original blueprint

or it may be the future you

a sibyl enfolded in red silk

holding blue earth in your hands

like a crystal ball

passionate peace incarnate

you come walking

red silk swirling

converting

all armies to armistice

sibyl swathed in red silk

speaking to warriors

turning them to peace

while your hands are shaping blue

into heavenly bowls for people

to catch their own stars

feeling energized by this image

you jump out of bed

hurry to school

listening to music

steady

at a loss

you lie down straight

needing a word with the universe

palms up

eyes closed

breath quiet

you're resting in a big invisible

heart-shaped cradle

sketched with a light brush

imagining

your mystical twin

by the look of her dressed

in a martial arts suit

onyx black

blade-sharp trousers

open kimono jacket revealing

the softness of her cleavage

on her feet trainer-style ballerinas

you see her through the looking glass

of your own concentration

and hers

the onyx black suit quiver

pouring rain as will power

until now you never saw her

only sensed her with your bodymind

glimpsed her

smiling rose-lipped

at you painter's antics

looking lovely relaxed

but focused

clearly at work in her work clothes

standing holding keeping

while you're cavorting

she's the black behind the rainbow

you're wallowing in

she's the robust alpha point

behind your expansive expressionism

you feel blue

you see red

sometimes you're green or yellow

or even in the pink

but she's your steady

standing in the middle

propping up the rainbow

standing sentinel under its arch

absolutely absorbing

your crazy quasar-like

colour frenzy

into her onyx black

just holding the black wholeness

giving it space

not spectral but black ground

your background

holding the sacred snake

holding the alpha black

lifting the rainbow high

as an arch to the sky

lifting it like a string of pearls

like a bridge

like a baby

like a treasure

like a trophy

she's your foundation

you're her foundling

leaving her for now

slowly returning to your room

you know she'll always be there

steady

like black

leaving her to do her work

standing like a pillar

quivering black vigour running

through space without a sound

you feel grounded

safe to create

rain coaxing

sleep is hard work

in this long wave of heat

your skin covered in a fine

diamond party shine of sweat

but you're trying

deepening into your body

loosening your grip on day

filling your lungs with the memory

of fresh night air

turning your sight inwards

imagining

you in a flowing unknown dress

delicate moon white but made

from something robust raincoaty

parachute like but elegant

with one shoulder free

you wear it with a fluffy lavender cardigan

barefoot in the park

visiting your special tree

the big serene horse chestnut

greeting you with joy but now

emitting low energy

the leaves a shrunken crepe paper

tired green

suddenly alarmed

catching tree thoughts

you let your cardigan fall

a luminous lavender shred

on the dark dry ground

and start dancing

in your moon white basic

coaxing a near-invisible shine

of moisture from the night air

shimmering young rain spirits

looking down on earth

from their little protective caves

in heaven

just clear and cool living

in the palace of heaven

you're dancing a prayer for moisture

to the green world

rain dancing rain coaxing

the diamantine shine

from spirit to misty to moist

come come out to play

in a dream within a dream

you wake up tense and poised like a dancer

tomorrow you're going to start training again
