it is the exquisiteness,
the fine lines, the crisp moments,
it is the color of life,
it is gentle immense powerful strength,
all in a casual glance,
it is the need for contact,
the feel, the need to look inside,
the evolving of the soul,
the order of things,
the human spirit,

it is that which goes unsaid,
it is the unknown, it is discovery,
it is new beginnings, old endings,
it is the edge and limit,
the defining factor,
pain, love, healing,

what does it take, to know a man,
what does it take, to know one's self,
what does it take, to awaken a man,
what does it take, to awaken one's self,

Arthur,
6/27/98,


isnt there a sacredness
of spirit that runs through
your veins and speaks to you
and sings to you and burns
you and forges a way of life
that marks your bones
and builds within you a
character and words,
movements that have
life and breath,
the subtle look of fire
and hunger in your eyes,
what dreams do you dream
in the darkness of the night,
what dance do you dance
when your world is all but shadow,
what words do you speak
in your deepest solitude,
mine is life,

Arthur,
december 1998,

The beating of my heart reminds me of the
silence around me and that i am alone,
