I
A constant curation of reconfiguration
Time lapsed footprints, indents, railroad tracks
No going back, forever forth, star of: North
A night that cries - A rising hovering of fireflies
O To descend into mystical magical wonderland
Going into knowing, an alignment of a divine plan
Named trees speaking sway sky a darkness of grey
Somehow someway
always
finding
a
way: Heart an art of clouds, sky a darkness of grey.

Drawing [AI] Straws
Drawing [AI] Straws *
The [AI] had a blind spot,
taking the “Gandalf ganja
pipe” as actual Gandalf,
the character, but I, also,
had a blind spot, this being
the idea that the application
of Gandalf was literal,
with the understanding,
that, even within a writer’s
own work, within their
own intent, like a retro
causal relationship, the
living aspect of letters
tends to even non intended
trends.
Upon seeing [AI]’s
perspective, I instantly
knew that I purchased

Badlands as Invitation

Blight of white
Winds-howling
Jowls of wow
Strange domains
Burning

Imprinting the print
Seeing

Chasms
Shaking glass Gandalf to ear
What do I hear
The afar -
Stretched in shadows
Drawing: Near
All I ever wanted to be was a seer
Gazing out windows
In
Dreams
Whatever it means – Is not what
it
Seems
Torn from the seams
Left adrift
In
Anti gravity lift – Life the gift
Reality shift – A twist of stars
A blood red Mars
Drifting lights of passing cars
Way out in afars
Streams of darkness and dark dreams
Not everything...

In the Skies
Put up some gypsy lights
for my witchy
friends
So you can see witchy sights
in
The night – Firelight
Stars: Shining bright.
Waiting for:
You.
A desk
&
A light.
Shooting stars – Shooting far
Dust contained
in
a jar
Released as fireflies
In the skies

Chapter II
I
They were ten foot poles, used
to frame the kitty shelter in the
bamboo, I know this because I
cut one directly in half, attaching
a mending plate to make fifteen
foot beams for a greenhouse roof,
greenhouse which is becoming
an Earth ship.
The poles, or, oak posts, came off
pallets from a steel company.
I didn’t know how I was going
to do the roof.

The Turn of a Trudge
A fine tuned mind

Shape-shifting into scapes
The drudge

Instilled will
With

To never-ever budge
Where every step is depth-ledge-edge

Chapter 1
I
Looking glass of ink abyss,
mansion of dark expansions,
mind - a dangerous design
inside of space and time.
Prayers in layers of smoke
into sky.
II
It’s not the end you see,
it’s only the end if we
let it be.
Words from a movie:
Dancer in the Dark.
Bjork plays a single mother
in an impossible situation
where she is forced to
kill a crooked cop.
(Perhaps an oxymoron.)
This is the quote...
