Walternate Universe – MC41225
I pressed the button on the control just for the hell of it
When the portal in the shape of a blue liquid sphere appeared
Thinking I was still dreaming from the night before I stepped through
Not realizing that things were about to get really weird…
A small robot with a television monitor for a face greeted me
In a long dimly lit hallway that was as far as the eye can see
Here other portals were opening and closing for other travelers
As they jumped through verses like they were wishes of a fantasy

The Absence of Magic
Crushed under heel, your cigarette smolders in heavy waves of gray, defiant to its last breath. Compare its progress to the formation of debris fields, Saturn's rings, the Kuiper belt. Smaller scale, the same physical principles in play. Force of momentum and attraction, mass and density, light and a path of longitudinal oscillations along the line of propagation. Beauty in the facility of simple movement.
She exhales and laughs bitterly, throws bursts of sound like glass at me that shatters against my face. I wait, let your silence reign, until you will speak again. What isn’t a...

Arbiter of the Eons
In the depths of time, in the infancy of man, there were those who sought knowledge beyond what was meant for mortal minds. They delved into mythic secrets, seeking to acquire cosmic foresight, to peer into the very fabric of the universe itself.
Among these seekers was a cloaked figure, draped in shadows, chiseled features hidden in the darkness. He was drawn by the allure of knowledge, the promise of enlightenment beyond the bounds of sanity. Through ancient tomes and forgotten rituals, he delved deeper and deeper into the abyss of understanding, until he stumbled upon a...

Absolem, the Caterpillar
So far, you are a very calming shade of light blue. A busy street in Brooklyn. Driftwood ebbing in and out of the shoreline with the waves."
..
If pain was all I knew, I'd be silent, because I love you.
Crickets piercing stridulations across the veil, sound of vastness between flora and fauna, leaf and stamen, pulsing with the electric beat of life in an unfixed moment, ever vectored onward, this astral belt of permutable collisions.
You tell me there is no God, even as bioelectricity arcs across neural ravines and a bath of light makes...

Weary Traveler
You hear my footsteps
Towing my heart, mind, body and soul in shallow breaths
Mother Earth cradle and give restless souls hope, rest
I have sat and heard the calling of the dark
Closing my eyes, I’ve saw the damnation, the dead feeding off its spark
Emptiness when eyes are open, searching for what cannot be found, only remembrance where falsehood spirits larks

The Lost Scrolls of King Solomon
To King Solomon From The Queen Of Sheba
My King, found in the Book of Holy Orations we twine unto the pages as fateful lovers… as the Heavens has ordained my mental dialect loose and free
In the view of divine perfection, scriptures from a land before time for you
In the dawning or morning rays, the hieroglyphics of our sacred sheets will tell of our soaked dew
Of ancient stature lay upon the parcel of my heart
My sweeten enchantment you take pleasure in from the dust of dark
Diminish your guard of roaring power
Search the earth by my...

Bubble & Squeak
What a strange night!
Firstly
Fairy folk
Feeling forlorn
And seemingly forgotten
Entered my room
From my chimney
Coughing, and spluttering
And covered in coal dust, and cobwebs
Swearing at each other
They were so busy squabbling
They seemed unaware of my presence
Until i coughed, "don't worry" said i
"It's not Covid!"
"I hope you're going to clean up this mess?"
"You come into my flat, uninvited"
"Trash it with dust, and argue!"
With not so much as a by your leave!"
I forgot to mention, and how did i not...

Heart of the Universe
In a crystalline realm there is little room for soft bodied life. The mammals of the human Universe would not do so well here, except in pockets of green spaces on the many crysalized plenets and moons sparkling in lovely blue and green starlight.
The transwarp ship, Cosmosis, that brought our family here had simply functioned too perfectly. It had gone above and beyond the designs parameters entirely. Who knew? It would take a large 12 member family to another dimension of real space. Yet very separate and zero tendrils of any sort of hyperspace links to it could be found from...

Rite of the Totem (collab with Rianne & Daniel Christensen)
Sunlight mottled sheen on a borrowed car,
I drove to fetch your mouth to mine,
No longer exists, having fired back
From beds of earthen berm and out
Into the cosmos of colors and ice
Tails trailing a torpedo of rock, your
Eyes burning with lust premeditation,
Affixed to me with newness of
Adoration, no longer exist,
They have pressed out ten thousand
Layers of film, as years of sand and wind
Scoured away their gilding, into a face of
Untold seasons we have not
Shared, your arms have shed
Skin after skin into someone...
I drove to fetch your mouth to mine,
No longer exists, having fired back
From beds of earthen berm and out
Into the cosmos of colors and ice
Tails trailing a torpedo of rock, your
Eyes burning with lust premeditation,
Affixed to me with newness of
Adoration, no longer exist,
They have pressed out ten thousand
Layers of film, as years of sand and wind
Scoured away their gilding, into a face of
Untold seasons we have not
Shared, your arms have shed
Skin after skin into someone...

Raphium Series~Dare
tilt the slide and grin
it's madness my old friend...
cunning deceiver I see you true, do you wish to brag?
I hear the powers that be whisper
I am admonished by my commander
bragging gives away knowledge about us
so though I do wish to gloat, I won't
sinister stirring from the North tell me hush
I hunker down for the moment
my enemies are prowling
I'm on the grid, bots are looking all too human
and scenario 51 promises more torture
I am content with my position under my Captain ...

Hum
Welcome in the living breathing meadows
Into the heavens of one's chest
Unfolding the breezes
Wide awake and listening,
Relaxed unrest buzzing
Joyously past time for bed
Sway with the shadows who escaped the head
Humming soft as gentle snow falling
Whisper encantations of forgiving appreciation
For they carry winter solstice back home
Opening and closing, an infinite surrender
Like...
