Motions and Gesticulations

Motions, gesticulations, propositions and presentations,
vitality of resoluteness and steadfastness, compulsions and entailed coercions,
is perpetuity, permanence; the anchor, or announcer of eternity,
may be, a compromise, conciliation, or even, a pure concession,
though it achieves the continuum bind, combination and amalgamation,
In essence, contemporary unrestrained strides and stages, comprised of the chain of completions.
The tides and webs, seas and oceans,
ridges and brims, throngs, overflows, and the overwhelm torrents,
excesses, surfeits, and the bursts; ruinations, declines and depletions,
the currency and exchange, vogue, prevalences,
the rages, fads, or the trends and whims,
captivations, craze, promptly, allure the sense,
marches to trail; pawmarks pare the flex,
sagacity, erudition irrupts the seize, to cram the gist.
Mandates, methods, directives and decrees,
tendencies, propensities, inclinations and penchants,
realms, arenas, ambits and orbits, and the tandem to compete,
concealed sensations, clogged commotions, perturb the notions,
lions, cougars and tigers, perceive and observe, curtail emotions,
mere reparations, prey’s annotations, murky corollaries, do shake the shelters.
Urges, desires, yearnings and wishes, penuries, privations,
shall not shroud and leather, submerge or shelter,
the sunlit tenancies, tenures, sky reflects to lightens,
stints, spans will merge, fuse, meld and blend,
crossing points, boundaries and borders, unify, mingle, or blend.
Essence, the heart and kernel, assimilate, conform, and kotow.
fortunes, kismets and fates, to lurk, prowl and loiter,
pundits, gurus, and sages, step, tread and tramp,
sagas, epics and tales, rehearse the preparations, sharpen intuitions.
the pace and measure, adjustments, adaptations,
courses and actions, evolve and ponder,
the jaunts ascertain, envoys to partake, portents to pertain.
While, nips and pecks, rushes and runs, snippets and nibbles,
accrue and ensue, the silence of dark nights,
the hush and shush of passing by tumults and uproars,
the heralds and harbingers of the ever enriching, heartening,
and hoisting souls and hearts,
do tend, mind, and veer and lean,
the bends and bows, arches and precincts, carve and whittle, incline and pare.
Whereas; streams are filled, to top and rims, melted to flow, solids to settle,
rushes, dailies and footages, currents to be gauged, movements to monitor,
surveys heed and follow, shadows, eclipses and shades ensue and arise.
Your trickling memos, the letters and dispatches of attachment,
nearness, and imminence, plausibly, superbly, and brilliantly,
entrust, entail, indulge and deliver,
the perpetuality, eternity, lapidate, bombard, barrage and blast,
and the corners, curves, and spots, depict and portray,
your tenderness, compassion, and keenness, to adhere to light,
embrace the bright, no pale and ashen mien and maze,
to stand the nimble and agile dome and cupola, of threads to attain.

Themes & Interpretations
Embodied Motion
Gesticulation as philosophical mode — the body’s expressive movement elevated to primary epistemology. We know through our motions before we know through our words.
Chain of Completions
Each stride and stage is itself a completion, not a deferred arrival. Motion is not preparation for fulfillment; it is the accumulation of fulfilled moments, link by accomplished link.
Essence That Kowtows
The heart and kernel assimilate, conform, and bow. The most fundamental thing is the most responsive — the deepest self is not the rigid substrate but the most humble receptor.
The Predator’s Lesson
Lions, cougars, and tigers perceive and observe, curtailing emotion in service of precision. The great predators model the mastery of engaged attention: to see clearly, one must feel purposefully.
The Dome of Threads
The nimble and agile dome and cupola of threads — the greatest structures are built from the smallest, most delicate motions. Every nip, nibble, and trickling memo contributes a thread to what ultimately stands.
The Eternal Trickle
The tender memo is also perpetuality and eternity. The trickle that persists is perpetual in a way that the torrent is not. Tenderness achieves what force cannot: the eternity of attachment.
