awoken

sage or fuckwit, i roll in poison ivy
and drink the venom of poisonous snakes
embracing de sade and masoch in mirbeau's torture garden
tied,staked, and driven into place
the education in permutations of pain
under the waterfall my head is hit with a chi satori
my chakras aligned by the brutality of truth
you can curl in the kirlian swirl an'
let me know how my aura tastes cause i know the energy
leylines, dragon lines, rake me with reiki
and find my calm centre of stillness
to practice and to do are the same thing
smash a chair, has the chair gone?
this chair was also a tree at some point it's life
white flame meditation
stepping through the door into actualisation

loved the connections with aura, reiki, and chakras. And the last line is perfect.

chakras aligned by the brutality of truth"
rake me with reiki" Once again, I was greatly amused by your wit.

brilliant! Never had someone define energy work and meditation in such an urban raw visceral and witty way...the chair analogy is fantastic.
The couplet at the end is a brilliant transition point leaving us at the threshold...wanting to actualize.

I love this poem, all the imagery surrounding our energy as humans. Using the chakras to describe the energy that describes your place in time. All the imagery surrounding meditation and yoga. then at the end through this peace you walk through the door in your mind. I like this. Cool stuff. By the way I love Fuckwitt. Can I borrow the knowledge in your brain to write? :) Fun this was for me
