There is a place
A place
A place
Where strength resides
Where an ivory spine is intertwined with tethered truth that roots itself into
The soil
And under earth
Before earth
Before the shape and filling of things
There is the beginning
There is a place
A place
An antidote
To all this is and was and come what may
There is a place
There is an elixir
That flows as rich and sweet as honey
There is a place wherein majesty is kept
Fixed as still as an Arizona canyon wall
There is a place
Of mighty men
A place wherefrom will fly
The windblown mane of horses
There is a place
–Bastion of stillness
Wherein resides
The safest waterfall that ever plummeted through your veins
And echoed fast “you’re living”
