For the future by Adam Parry

 

For the future

 

I strained for the future

I was almost there.

Dew drenched I fell into a pool

so deep as deep as the sea I dropped up to

my legs like wheels

washed into cold salt from a fissure of magma

spewed out from earth fire

up, up to the turning beat of tides,

I found myself swimming

over waves surfing,

salt streaming

my tears away

walking over the wavelets

to that fresh beach beyond the rivers and rivulets

of the stars.

 

Feeling how heroes feel.

Feeling how cripples feel.

Feeling how the happy feel.

Feeling.
