These frequencies of energy,
making melodies
as we wend our way.
Heartbeats syncopating
to the oscillations
of fragments and filaments,
humming soft velvet,
growing heavy with gathering stardust.
Settling deeper into each exhale.
Still this remains.
light inside and out,
burning elbow-deep over a cold set of tracks.
A guiding note,
whispering away the dark,
calling to the flame,
the fallen footsteps,
to move
out,
forward and away
from smudged embers.
Starting into the unknown,
To see what is.
All this
will be,
just as it is.
So,
tongue-tied tune that is;
Licked flicker,
Dusty traveler!
In time
inconsequential.
Light still,
in spite lightening inhale.
Tend to the fire
of future-bound feet,
fall forwards and
dig deep.
Simply learn to gather
patience
and love,
how to be.
Do it for me.
Grief
TabulaR /
From dust and rocks
to his dust on rocks,
birthed from collected fragments
now dispersed.
For our love for his land
to my love on no man’s land,
a rising star saw and now sees
but sinking sun.
May its descent warm his feet
and cool this burning brow.
Blazing a golden path,
They long for nothing
but to have stopped
the passage of this day.
Solstice Frog /
My world,
Your world.
Spins with the seasons from ocean to lake,
Fringed with desert flats and forest.
My world trembles when it rains, and
Quakes when the rains grow silent.
New mountains rise up in yours
To suck out the sky. The rains run away.
I spy a fly with my little green eye(s) while you
Stare up above like some omnipotent owl;
The earth and the sky are yours!
My domain, ever-shifting, shows nothing but your skin
And stars.
Yet,
Equally cloaked in clouds of dust
I contemplate. And wait.
Two worlds draw together but
As my world inclines upwards
And yours downwards
With a kick,
And a flash -
A glistening green streak!
I’m gone.
Visions of the Dark /
The vision,
I have of You
Is not,
the vision,
I would have wanted
of You.
The dark,
The dry dread
of the Dark;
The dread,
of the vision
Darkest you.
It grates,
Tries, and executes,
Repeatedly.
The dark.
It,
fills space with a face,
Files Face under darkest vision.
You bring to me,
to bring Me down to the Dark
where I execute.
Your face,
It
Faces
Me.
Repeatedly,
I face it.
Your vision.
