With gravitas, love, love, love

This poem should be read slowly

Slowly

More slowly now

Slow real down

For this single word

Surreal slow

Slow now

With gravitas

And concentration

Pursed lips

Rasping throat

Breathe

Breathe again

Again breathe

Settle

Oxygenate the root canal

Feel the solar plexus

Begin to give birth

Give birth

Birth to a word

A word from the tomb of time

Relax, oh Frankie, relax

Obliterate all your other thoughts

Clear space, no space, anyplace

Slowly

Slow

Down low

Low

With gravitas

Conscious of the consequence

Memories of resonance

Give

Give birth

Birth to love

Love

Love, love, love

Love
