DO I NEED THE HOOK?
(with manic guitar)
do I need the hook
of potential rejection
to still
my critical eye?
do I need the lure
of uncertain reception
to ensure
I don't pass you by?
do I need a hood
over happiness
to light
my fire?
do I need a cloud
more than a silver lining
to stir
my desire?
do I need your gaze
to say, maybe at best
to tempt my love
to arise?
do I need the hook
of potential rejection
to exempt you from
my critical eye?
do I need distance
to stave off
my turning from
this chance?
or is this attraction
just a passing phase
is this attraction
to someone
who looks, pulls me near, withdraws
bad luck
a matter of timing
the luck of the draw?
I've had enough analysis
to have broken old constraints
I no longer feel paralysis
or frozen with fear
yet in the last analysis
where have I got?
am I an advertisement
for what should nor
happen with therapy
for what instead should be
the unhappy lot
of those without the benefit
of self-help
recovery
twelve-step programs
gestalt
bioenergetics
primal scream
counseling
group work
Oprah Winfrey?
sad to relate
is that
my fate?
no longer frozen
by old taboos
or with fear
defenses down
hopes up
I run amuck
and get stuck
am I hooked on
potential rejection?
do I need
a critical eye
to still
my own turning away
to quiet
my doubts
my latent negation
my rapid hesitation
my still-active defenses
against loving
again?
or do I need the hook
of potential pain
to stimulate
my loving eye?
do I need the lure
of uncertain gain
to decrease the temptation
to pass you by?
I used to be locked
where I ached for movement
I used to be blocked
from reaching
now I struggle
with loving
like a first-time swimmer
with water
I'm not hooked
on potential drowning
I don't need
rocky channels
for my pleasure
to show
maybe I need
to love
like I love swimming
in an easy flow
maybe I need my loving
to be like my swimming
feeling my body flow
in safe waters
glad to stay far from
a deadly
undertow
but maybe it's easier
to learn swimming
than loving
so in the last analysis
should I have stayed
with inner paralysis
not dredging up
what's within?
at times
the situation seems
no win
when I consider
the clinch I'm in
or is this attraction
just a passing phase?
or maybe even
is there a lot to gain?
another time
will the hook of rejection
be needed again?
or this time
what if
you still
your critical eye
you come to desire
me by your side?
will that give spac
for my rejecting gaze?
will I need another
potentially rejecting lover?
I don't know
that's a chance
you may
be unwilling
to take
too much
a gamble
on a ramble
through brambles
that may scratch you
it's a chance
I have
to take
for the stake
is a love
that wakens
love
not fear
of the pain
of the hood
or the hook
wish me luck
and in the meantime
maybe I'll do more swimming
feeling the steady flow
of my body in safe water

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
