(?)

this monkey brain that runs me
understands some things
but not how to process
the spirit in you recognizing mine

and how these spirits can dance together,
not waiting for formal introductions
and cavort, laughing at our slower minds and bodies
who stand stunned, staring into that same ether
and stammering:
what unplanned madness
is this?

so my primate mind names it love
and this  body processes yearning
when really
this thing encompasses
everything of these
but also something deeper,
more elemental, even
than they know how to touch.

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    I’m liking the monkey brain use which also seems to implies a little mischief 🙂
