Otherwise Chaos


by Jerry Ratch


 I know where the soul

Lies hidden, it's

Hidden in the eyes

 

And your eyes have history

They're bigger than

The heart

 

Which is only

Emotion

That passes in the night

 

While the soul goes

On and on

Into history

 

“First,” I heard her saying, into her cell phone

“I had two men in my life

“Now, I have no men in my life”

 

Like a refrain

Passing in the night

Passing in the night

 

“It's okay”

Her psychic from Santa Fe

Said on the speaker phone:

 

"live

and

love

and

create

 

otherwise

chaos"
