That Which Has Come Before:

palms up and weighted with salt
i watch my hands
shake gently in front of me.

i can feel every scar,
every raised petal of skin
to open itself

against the night.
and after everything,
this soft tremble

is all that remains of the past,
but i would like to be still.
at least enough

to hold something delicate.
if i tell you of history
is it too late to change it?

i have been carving memories
from bone for too long,
sharpening the air

into every word i can use
to go back, even if
it's the only place

i don't want to be.
to write is destroy
what has come before,

to build a home
of corpses.
they say we can transform pain

into something beautiful,
but how can anything so tender
ever be seen as ugly?

This is hauntingly beautiful. I feel very privileged to be here at the beginning of what I feel sure will be an incredible journey through your words spoken aloid in your own voice.
I'm not a published poet and I took all my old spoken word down off my channel, but you make me want to speak again.
I met a man today called Roderick James, who self publishes. In an incredible twist of Fate he felt moved to speak his poetry for our motley crew, and it was a beautiful moment shared. That's what poetry does, connectes people, and connects us to ourselves.
Thank you for being here.
