Allison Grayhurst

Long and a lot, fractures of time,
stretching steam-dust through
veins, fissures of luminosity.
Finally able to slice the pie,
embrace my priorities, understand what
sustains the veneer.
Kaleidoscope beating, beeping
a pulsar note of radiant birth, a
lifespan thinning, making new.
Voluptuous decay.

In my mind, complexities are exposed
in synergetic symmetrical beauty, bi-polar displays,
precision across solar systems -
a sidewalk chalk drawing.

Approaching revelation - a reincarnation-past
I am able to re-own without apology, without
demeaning my feminine front.
And up in the stringy multitude infra-ray arms,
vocal as a heartbeat under sinews,
I crack like a seed gnawed by a rodent’s teeth,
and then I grow.
Moving
to build ecstasy’s garden, grow
a rose – a scent on my neck,
under unshaven arms.

Grow until you own me,
call me out and let be a giant,
let me see the colliding galaxies I came from,
to stamp my name across nebulas,
collecting heat, mass, potency.
Grow until I am formed -
millennium still, erupting
