Ghosts of Exhausted Identity

Underneath all these layers of has been memory within
and should become remembered without
I have nothing left 
to late evening evolve me.

An exhausted creaky ghost
of organic chemistry reunions
inside a worn dry and peeling boundary membrane
surrounded by EarthTribe's climate of perpetual 
polycultural EarthMother becoming
relentlessly final unvoiced 
unchoiced answer

Fluidly disturbing as pulpless onion water
free for nothing but hands to wash
this scent of ghost.

A randomly thoughtless feeling
almost enfolding smell-swell memory
of full-filled time 

spatially dynamic 
sustaining while straining
refining redefining 
ghostly present flowing grace
of former future fine-edged life.

Immortally peeled of all spatial dimension
to be left only with timelessly unbound 
reverse of future flowing time

ReMembering a fully unpeeled union,
embryonic promise of a sacred organic space 
to recall original impassioned home.

Ghostly identity of unfeeling light
surrounding darker memory powers,
loving unformed organic chemistry,
integrity's unchosen potential
 
Memory regenerations
reconnecting co-empathic trust,
remembering unpeeled flowing

in and out Othered lust
for more belonging love
than unfelt longing life.
