The Calm Before......
Neither perturbed
Or disturbed
As the fallow, shallow Earth
Quakes
As it ponders
On the mistakes
Of those that talk
But do not act
They do not hear
They do not listen
They've lost
All sense
Of their senses
The mad moon
Glistens
On poisoned seas
As the earth
Becomes more diseased
Inadequate promises
Are like sticking plasters
For broken legs
The calm before......?

Two Jointed Haiku: Earth
Green. Awake seedlings/join your cyclical brethren/and blossom. Flourish
Our shared planet home/with your presence, your essence/your unending life.

A Parade of Cyclones
I remember when we would pray for rain
The drought seemed like a Dooms Day alert
But with climate change things take a quick turn
Now the downpours are causing floods we can’t avert
It’s a parade of cyclones lining up over the ocean
Storm after storm pounds us one after another
It’s a scary sight when you’re close to the floods
The west coast that was once toast is now underwater
Yes we prayed for rain, but not all at once
It’s too much for concrete waterways and rivers
And yet most of the water goes back to the ocean
That’s...

Passing Through.
Passing through the graveyard, each section dedicated
to burying parts of the skeleton.
We stretch into the neck,
and through the hand, finger-grasses phalanx around feet.
As our bodies close in on the tomb,
I read you something found on its headstone:
hold me; graze skin,
until you reach bone.
to burying parts of the skeleton.
We stretch into the neck,
and through the hand, finger-grasses phalanx around feet.
As our bodies close in on the tomb,
I read you something found on its headstone:
hold me; graze skin,
until you reach bone.

Mnemosyne!
It's true!
Man has a whispering spirit!
It comes sneaking in on every breath
Where the trachea will steer it
In and out until our death.
But it's only something that we borrow
Each and every temporary day
To get us to our sacred tomorrow
That we can't get to any other way.
And so there is a magic in the air
That comes down to us from the sky;
A magic with which we must take care,
Since no concept would ever clarify
Without tons of phytoplanktonic aid...
From the seven seas big...
Man has a whispering spirit!
It comes sneaking in on every breath
Where the trachea will steer it
In and out until our death.
But it's only something that we borrow

And so there is a magic in the air
That comes down to us from the sky;
A magic with which we must take care,
Since no concept would ever clarify

Migration
I didn’t believe it when I first had heard of it,
So I booked a cruise to the high seas,
There were rumors it was the end of the world,
Even scientists were baffled and ill at ease.
There were several ships at the destination,
When we got there it was a sight for the eyes,
But all of us were quiet in awe of this miracle,
As the flying whales took off into the skies.
The majestic giants floated upward free,
All the different kinds, in groups and in pods,
They sang a song like a floating Orca-stra,
Answering the calls of some...

Aspiring
I've come to understand that,
Not everyone is like me,
Not everyone sees the puzzle piece they are
The distance I can unravel a piece of thought
To the oblivious nature of your gentle "Hello, How are you?"
I don't know,
I preset answers to your basic interactions
I freeze upon
The hues are too much sometimes
The air too thick with inquiries and I...
Just want to be alone
to see life from the window seat
A plane of existence I will eventually move seats but for now I'm happy in my cushion.
I can solve and rearrange life, ...

Hewn
Beyond the door
On the window
Lay a portal
The door
Was cracked
And had brass handles
But lacked
Any real beauty
Creviced
Was the wood
And it was widely understood
That it was fitted on a whim
The wooden window doors
The magic lay behind
And if you could search
There-in
Lay another world
An alternative dimension
And i should mention
That beyond each crack
On each door
Lay more, and more, and more
A myriad of sub worlds
Unfurled
And within each world
As day became night ...

Obliterati
We were eight billion
and the skies grew warmer with each breath
The Devil rejoiced
as his path grew hotter with each step
Rain and sun conspired without mercy
while the four winds shrieked blood
to hasten our end
Mothers cast out their children
to wander hungry and die
their bellies bloated
on the cruelest road to death
Great mansions honed from greed
were riven unto dust
until the stars cried farewell
and the dark dread of night
ached for the return of life
as deep underground
a worm like creature ...
and the skies grew warmer with each breath
The Devil rejoiced
as his path grew hotter with each step
Rain and sun conspired without mercy
while the four winds shrieked blood
to hasten our end
Mothers cast out their children
to wander hungry and die
their bellies bloated
on the cruelest road to death
Great mansions honed from greed
were riven unto dust
until the stars cried farewell
and the dark dread of night
ached for the return of life
as deep underground
a worm like creature ...

Sandcastle
My Daddy’s castle was made of sand,
Didn’t build his house upon dry land.
And though this castle was his own,
It fell one day right through his hands.
I was given a crown of stone,
That proved this castle was my home.
And though it wasn’t made of gold,
It was fitting for my throne.
The land I came from then grew old,
As new legends start to unfold.
The tide then swept my castle away,
The way it rides can be so cold.
So now I’m bare amongst the day;
My crown...
Didn’t build his house upon dry land.
And though this castle was his own,
It fell one day right through his hands.
I was given a crown of stone,
That proved this castle was my home.
And though it wasn’t made of gold,
It was fitting for my throne.
The land I came from then grew old,
As new legends start to unfold.
The tide then swept my castle away,
The way it rides can be so cold.
So now I’m bare amongst the day;
My crown...

"home"
home;
i don't even know....
it's not what it seems;
it's not the place one wishes
it could be....
home;
an illusion of stability;
a place where most would"kill" to be;
the rug underneath one's feet-
snatched away from lack of "currency" or due to dependency....
home....
