going with the gut

my gut tells me there is beauty
somewhere being beautiful
under clouds that do not know my name

i listen for a moment to hear
long hair collapsing into the most now
bright eyes exploding like a bear
Into the smell of rubbish

my gut tells me there is beauty
everywhere being beautiful
in the cold dark where my name means nothing

i look for a moment to see
soft flesh climbing hard flesh toward the almost there
kind fingers scratching like scorpions feet
along the hot dry sand

my gut tells me there is beauty
anywhere being beautiful
on the edge of the world where my name is forgotten

I sing for a moment – your name
your heart beating along the most me
blood flowing like a jellyfish
into the void of the endless depth
