Release Me

                                                                                    I know that I know it
                                                                                    I just don’t know where
                                                                                                                                      do we know
                                                                                                                                 what we know
                                                                                                 it’s certainly not in my words
                                                                                                 it’s suspended
                                                                                                 some where
                                                                                              with in me
                                                                                          draped along nerves
                                                                                     tingling organs
                                                                              caressing bones
                                                                 seeping out in movement
                                             coming through vision
                overlap distort extend perception
                catch it
                moving through me
                punch the shutter release
                                                                in tune with it
                                                                find these images
                                                                inside me
