Regenerate

Head rush
tail spin
cycling out of control

hold breath
tighten grip
see straight
raise head

inside
melt down

caving mountain
lava streams

outside
be calm
stay quit witted
clever
and sharpen edges
don't miss the details
shoot straight
cut clean

eventually
die inside

winter comes
frost sets
and earth hardens

one day
sun sets

colors stream
light hits horizon
to tuck away
for a quiet night's sleep

exhale
lay back
feel warmth
pleasure tingles inside again
eyes peel to star's brilliance
skin receives pain and caress
and releases in the next breath

deeply expecting
a rising globe of fire
clean slate
progressing frame of time

birthing hopes in secret
wings with higher clout
popping flowers whisper of
earth's pending promise

Re-generate
