observation deck -
glass-floored, dizzying abyss;
emptiness and dread.

vibrant pungency
inauthentically evoked;
dog-food tom yum goong.

petal-speckled berm -
pollination's aftermath;
dappled lemon lawn.

today's draft, on the invention of barbed fishing spears. (apparently they found one recently from way earlier than 90,000 years ago, but of course the list i'm going from is certain to be affected by future discoveries.)

pale fluorescent glow;
constant motion, vacant gaze -
night's convenience store.

night's unfolding bloom,
roused perceptions quickening;
partygoers' teeth.

my love is like a read
read poem
never understood

sees certain rainbows in the sky
but not the colours
in a flight of words

understands a pose
of random flowers
ignoring dying petals

as they fall
but words that breathe forever
she cannot hear

at all

to love, an end

some dimming day
each breath a ragged cloud
i will understand
not one creaking word
you say
though with a swoop of Horus'
piercing eye will see
your all and always love
remain

best, don't you think
we are long gone
by then

through dancing birds
and shadowed
painless trees

while mum and dad investigate
those bright but quite implausible
icy rings of number six
their herd of kids, numbed and bored
hitch a ride to play and tumble
through fluffy clouds on planet three

imagine our surprise
when that mother ship arrives
to call them home for tea

, not

humanity so proud
to act beyond
mere instinct
becomes the first
to dream
its own deserved
extinction

each one knows his god
and worships him freely
with uncomplicated love
and dribble
on a trousered knee

leave the liars and the fools
on the stairs of escher's tower
climbing always one step closer
to their greed

ignore their siren songs
of wealth and power

walk along a level path
to feel the wounded forests
heal

the old ones awake
to cover their ancient limbs
in rapturous green

shy snowdrops nod
in pendant recognition
no shame intended

tethered by the tractor-beam
of earth's iron core.

No Regrets

When one's satisfied
It's hard to look back
And wish to change anything

My trauma
The things that hurt
The things that numbed
Happened

But now we're here
Us three
Under the oaks
Nestled in snow

You let me be me
Sharing all I feel
No need to justify
The space I take

I'm wiser now
And we have our family
So no regrets
Just acceptance

watching clockwork people
in their stone house hollow
listening for the echo
of an absent winder

tick and steeple tock
in lock step
wailing

as though
in mourning for this single life
pulling all the hard stops out
on sundays

fall
finally
brings oak
and
maple
together

together
