what's with this chi thing?, rumi poem, my poem, la, la

Marlie and Sophie, after Marlie's demo video Saturday

is there chi
yes?
ain't there chi
no?

tai chi
my chi
you chi
chi for two
two for chi
chi gung

gung ho

ho ho

ha ha

if we are alive
and present
and laugh

and
love

does it
matter?
if the chi
is whatever it's purported to
be
or
something
else?

Rumi poem:

Remember the lips
where wind-breath
originated,
and let your song
be clear.

don't hold back
Be your song

if you don't think
that's enough
so be it

it is

go up on your roof
tops
and get silly:
sing out your song
as if you
belong

to the Universe

(my version)

my poem:

raining
and the
pain

is waiting
to ease into
our
forgetting

so
remember
the sun
is shining
behind
each
and every cloud

no silver linings
today

only total
love

and then:
a smile
a sigh
and the day
sinks
into sweet dark night
