When I Die by Josh Bond

When I die,

I will be quite 
happy to leave 
behind the weight 
of gravity and I hope 
to regain the clear blue 
eyes I had as a child, lost 
into dullness some-
where around 
the age of 
seven

Immortal Beloveds by Pablo Cipher_O Martinez

Meeting, every time

through –

clear blue eyes

of

innocence. Later

lovers

in

a panopticon

of

heat lightning mist…

just as they had always planned

Author’s Note:

For Josh and Veronica Bond…

I was thinking of the idea of continuously

meeting each other in every incarnation…

In the paradigm of reincarnation…

Of the school of thought which ponders

the idea that we pre plan our lifelines

in between every reincarnation…

That we actually reincarnate in groups

of souls…

That is wild…

I was thinking of lovers who always

reincarnate as lovers…

Lovers who choose to meet in the

age of innocence…

They grow together…

Into a great love…

In every incarnation…

I believe in things like that…

Think of the idea that you cannot

extract what you do not already

possess…

In this structure of thought…

What if everything we can think

of or imagine…

Has a basis in far out reality…

I got the idea of the lightning storm

from…

We been gettin big storms…

Last night was flashes of heat

lightning…

Twas dope…

[The night before I had a fire in

the misty rain and lightning…]

I went to a site with community

cameras with vistas from all

over the town…

Tis super cool…

I went to the one for one of

the parks…

On the water…

The show was gettin goin…

I didnt expect to see anyone…

Then I saw a couple come up

and set out a blanket…

It was so punk rock and cool…

Immortal beloveds…

Yes…

I believe in things like that…

Josh and Veronika are a couple like that…
