We Were

in poetry •  7 years ago 

We were
Jacked up on prayer and meditation
Can I get a hallelujah?

We were
So bright the night sky blinded like daylight
Can I get a fuck yeah?

We were
Caked Knee deep in the sweetness of damp earth after rainstorms
Can I get a woot woot?

We were
Swollen and bloated-twisting like the carcass of pigs on spits
Can I get a help me?

We were
Rabid animals spewing sunflower seeds in grand arches
Can I get a poor poor me?

We were
Pressing forward-footstep by footstep on edgy death defying cliffs
Can I get a good on ya?

We were
Eyes closed, fists tight moving uphill not listening to sense or logic
Can I get a bravo?

....

We were
Jacked up on prayer and meditation
Amen.

We were
So bright the night sky blinded like daylight
Glory be.

We were
Caked Knee deep in the sweetness of damp earth after rainstorms
Blessings.

We were
Swollen and bloated-twisting like the carcass of pigs on spits
Om Shanti.

We were
Rabid animals spewing sunflower seeds in grand arches
Mercy.

We were
Pressing forward-footstep by footstep on edgy death defying cliffs
Peace.

We were
Eyes closed, fists tight moving uphill not listening to sense or logic
Godspeed.
