Passion
By Kathleen Finn Jordan
Inspiration piece
Passion – a whelming over thrusting active force
Tensile, heat seeking, volcanic, concussive, consuming, inhale/exhale
Exhaust of love, joy, rage through nerve endings telegraphing
Outward – Outlaw through the bone frame
Focused, fusing, hurling body-soul to height
To depth, to sky, to frenzy
Dispelling, recharging, building in the presence of
A trigger: flesh and blood, ideology or value
Transforming all into a new wherever
Where reason lies comatose on the lava shore left behind.
