Jake Vincent Belmont Poet Rhyme

From Earth and Through

From Earth and Through

Steeping whilst stepping 
From realms made in this world
Into patches of pink and yellow clovers
Covering the paths in static hope

Crushing through them
While wishing to apologise
Except this feels like an acceptance;
An accommodation for pattering feet
Like swallowings of excess
Carving through in roving rivulets
As the most joyful and innocent of destruction

Puffs of attempted balance
Now marshmallowed into impressions
Under the forgiving sunshine
Able to heal them
Should the right patterns of chemical timings
Warmings and coolings apply
Into the next transmutation
Using the needed resources surrounding
To stretch and strive once more

The chances a new patter of footfall
Shall land another fatal imprint
Higher by the bite, the cat scratch, the goat finesse
As it would always be

Here or there
No matter where
I always find the tug
To be alive
At worst, to be destructive
But of course
Only to the allowed extent

How varied are the ways of excess
Of imprinted deathblows
Showing us what we have to overcome
Like careless steps of an ignorant giant
Thrashing wistfully through
And pouring huge drops of tears
Randomly nourishing dots of sun-globed sadness
Slogged consolations to fight over
And avenge for new reasons underfoot

In a finite Earth basket
Just a matter of time
As hands and feet finish their gouging
And sleepless journeying

Known to demand implicitly
Whether to be absorbed
Or charged at an accepted rate
Deemed market-appropriate

So I lend work and productivity
Home-based remedies
Of someone else’s ingenuity 
Handed down from ancient history

One shared family belonging
From mutual beginnings
Of simple necessities
And through spiced diversities
