Breakthrough

buried in the body memory

every note resounds at random times

            just one note perhaps

an entire Era

melts away and another time

            another place

shimmers into being

            transmogrifies the world

fifty years evaporate

a brittle edge breaks off

breaks open

soft liquid pours out viscous

from some sweet

            some barely identifiable wound

all along you think you’re Alive

every time you plant your foot upon the earth

you think it Means something

we look into each other’s faces

            and imagine

a moment in time that will Last

that emotion

that Love that Anger that Horror or Sadness

            that Excitement has meaning

that the World will be changed

energetic force touches changes Reality

what Is Reality?

can you touch it

            can you pick it up

                       manipulate its shape or scent

can you bury it where no one will ever see?

sometimes it only takes one

to break through the fear

the shame

of looking unlike the others

           uncommon

                        of stepping Forward

but just one rebel

a single moment

One Dancing Light

caring only for the music

is pulled into the matrix generating the soul

            of this night

or the last hundred years

or any time at all

in a surprising and magical way

the Walls come down

sometimes it only takes one
