Migration

Digging for meaning 
Searching connections between 
foot steps and words
Searching through folds of gray matter 
Synaptic tabs of mental files
storing muscular, visceral experiences through which I learn

Traveling across the page 
and onto the highway
Academic environs give way to dilapidated row houses
vacant buildings and grass roots efforts
Empty space full of room
Room full of space whipping a frenzied storm

Here, we land on an idea
There, we land on confusion
Sometimes we don’t land
Sometimes we just keep whipping around
traveling through space and time
zapping energy, infusing love

Tumble out, sail down the road
blur of colors and forms whiz by
distance between bodies, meaning drifts in
Questioning shifts through paper and skin
Desire to return from here to there and back again
Traversing a space so full.
