Coin

the coin pays its daily debt slips below the slot figures stretch violet

Feed

streams feed
rivers
branches stitch
the cedar
lines, lignin
harvest the sun

arterial ways
lead to my heart
fractals
suture life

Harvest

time harvests
experience
the scythe must fall
or all things become
one
understanding this
my thoughts now
run free

Panormos Liberated

panormos
an occupied
burghal harbor
a colonized chimera realm
chattel and conquerors
goods and services
dominion squatters
the demands ebb in
the effects flow out
slow erosion
of supply, security, and place
identity and worth
splinters fall through
infinity becomes bottom heavy ...
the isle is turned on its head
until there is balance once again
chronicle it in a painting
sign the left corner
claim your ownership
date and register it with time
for safe keeping
let the edges blur
the bitter gall sweeten
fingerprints fade
mount it in a museum
among the mental menagerie
where human suffering
is transformed
into a desire to be free

Storm Clouds

storm clouds and wind nature reveals her dark side with cadence and candor  *** · # High Upon His Virtuous Mount 
Spring rains string the bow shower my skin, trace my fingers aim for my heart  *** # Gossip 
a wind whispers gossip from afar behind their fans maples giggle  tall grasses bend in evil mirth my mind centers and sighs

storm clouds and wind nature reveals her dark side with cadence and candor  *** · # High Upon His Virtuous Mount 

From high upon his virtuous mount
The stone king delivered his icy edict
He cast-out his heart’s desire
The queen of the sun, wind, and tides
The queen was a beauty
But tempestuous, mercurial
Exciting, creative, but not to be tamed
Forever coming and going
The love she had for the king
Was split in two and shared with the moon


"How can foundations form
sediments stratify
if they are eternally stirred up
taken to and fro," demanded the king
"do not vex me so, settle or leave
for I can bear your tremors no more"
The emotional waves of constant chaos
Had overwhelmed his heart


The weeping queen did as he bid
Departed the realm
Calm and stillness returned
but all warmth left too
The stone king’s heart froze
became a crystalline dam


If he allowed it to warm, let go
Emotional torrents would flood
his land once again
This he knew
Still, stoic, and steadfast
He'd remained up high
on his virtuous mount
Chaos had been banished
Sediments were not stirred
Ice did not melt
Welled-tears became glaciers
Foundations were cemented
The land remained still

String the Bow


Spring rains string the bow shower my skin, trace my fingers aim for my heart  *** # Gossip 

a wind whispers gossip from afar behind their fans maples giggle  tall grasses bend in evil mirth my mind centers and sighs
