25th circular – dropping-off

this simple dropping-off may often feel as if there's effort—

like floating on the ocean, there's a kicking and a paddling of extremities at first until one rests full weight upon the lifting of the sea—

after all, it's not exactly like a dead man's float, this self returning to itself, this one of being—

there's a liveliness, a never-ending energy, a crisp but peaceful buzz akin to something like orgasm in slow-motion—

not dead-weight.

verse: akin to something like orgasm

this simple dropping-off may often feel

as if there's effort—

like floating on the ocean,

there's a kicking

and a paddling of extremities at first

until one rests full weight

upon the lifting of the sea—

after all, it's not exactly

like a dead man's float,

this self returning to itself,

this one of being—

there's a liveliness,

a never-ending energy,

a crisp but peaceful buzz

akin to something like orgasm

in slow-motion—

not dead-weight.
