Suspension of Wonder
Each night is a lens
in a window
Shaped elliptical over my eye
looking out into a sea
of dark ink or tenebrosity
or revolutions of evolutions of… Me
The air is humid and charged.
Premonitions of my beloved storms.
The baby bats seem to know I am watching
in their floppy frisbee flight
not to touch the Earth this night.
I embody them with ease
and see… Vibrations
And then I feel a gentle breeze
and become a tree… Swaying softly
I want to feel everything… Sometimes
Sometimes I want to feel everything.
As my machine or the machine of me
Functions and is fascinated by my humanity
(which as you can imagine includes what it includes.)
I imagine there is some part of me
that has counted the days
Like when you just know what time it is.
And finally I fly into my heart
(at least that is what I think it is.)
And I see you and what you are becoming to me
or have become?
And I wonder

Author's Note
Wouldn't you know it... The day I put my baby bats in a write, one of them appears in the house. I went to the kitchen about 3 this morning, flipping on the light switch... and what do I see.?. A whooshing shadow in the corner of my eye. Twas a bat. I opened the back door as a fusillade of flying things, and maybe even crawling things, went into the house. I held vigil but did not see the winged creature exit the building. So... Elvis is still around somewhere. The cute vicious little bat is lurking somewhere awaiting my least prepared state. :)

Love this ... I have bats that come to visit my pasture in the predawn hours ... they flit above my head ... saying good morning ...

Enjoyed your noctural embodiments very much. LOL @ Elvis NOT leaving the building. It's a refreshing change from its opposite, which I've heard since around 16 or so, when I was lifeguarding and he passed away. Maybe he is embodiying you . . .

There is no way to tell the difference... Am I human having a dream of being a bat, or a bat having a dream of being a human? (BIG SMILE)
(substitute Elvis for bat or anything really)
Glad you liked the Elvis reference. I enjoyed making it.
On as side note... There were a number of bugs in the house today. :)
And Indeed, Elvis is lurking in the shadows. I don't mind.
Thank you A.
