Hearth of Winds

From west to east you plumb axisal spin,

And darted on the limbs of the poles.

On longitudes and latitudes, you are dotted in silhouettes.

Just above the horizon of age, you journeyed,

Beckoning the threshold of syllabubic windfalls.

And the pomp of...

Slow falls the gentle smile
and nevermore settles to eyelash light

In humbled sorrow
of now lentissimo rhythms of burdened heart
too sad to utter a moments tear

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, 
Yet no sound is dispatched
These guilty grazers are all culprits,
As my voice has been snatched,
It’s as if my neck has been tightly draped
By a never-ending string
Suffocation is the last thing on my mind
But rather, the inaudibility it...

To win Genesis of  her beginning.
