hard to completely let go
surrender yourself to your self
not easy to be casual
need to stop holding on to stuff
that has a hold on you
enjoy the finer things
just remember they aren’t the main thing
old habits and hard deaths
the bedrock of your worst impulses
the strata of your false foundation
subduction of the soul
as you submerge and envelop yourself
seeking the white hot core
your inner iron man
standing tall at ten thousand degrees fahrenheit
no air to breathe
idols implode inside the fiery furnace of a true heart
the last tough muscle to resist incineration
as this life goes up in
smoke
the ether you drink to quench a neverending thirst
a permanent part of the earth that sustains you

Mind as flexible as man is ferrous
anchors this “Iron Man” with the
discounted soul of a mortal Dionysus
scalping his heart, errant yet endless,
with the planet’s beingness
