we attenuate our grief soft voices unthreading into the sky
the mist attenuates mountains until distance inherits the burden of lost memory

[ Poet’s Note : Companion Poem to
attenuate: Aug 26 ]
her gracile cancer ridden body disturbed soul shores, re-assimilating into ether
simultaneously
embodied light attenuated as rain sleets soaked washing trauma embedded
molecules —
shattered dreams attenuated floorboards, oregons shivering sunlight through colourful veils
meanwhile
gracile human pendants attenuated threads of Leo’s mane, gently swaying in cool breeze
…
grey matter spilled into hot black and white hands
healing —
blue veins attenuated
their hair one corn, one wavy
lips grim thick and thin
clothed in hospital tunics
spaceship hovered silver sleek
cancer attenuated —
False humility* attenuates stewardship gain lurking yon selfishness-propelled profit.
*James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

A wee dram of malt whisky is savoured neat ~ attenuated with ice cubes for those petite.

flood waters rise, attentuate sound of rapids at base. a silent eeriness fills this space
strumming Kurt Cobain rock his sciatica attenuates taut guitar strings snap in revolt
meanwhile
vanilla pods attenuate her cocoa dreams, scintillating pink paradisical whiffs
both watched
bright orange flicker flames attenuate across calm lake two kundalini gently twisting
I would not live without warm cookies and cold milk, a lady's love or Rainer Marie Rilke
Sweet golden memories of
the good old days attenuate
into a distant happy laugh.

I ramble as lattice where the summer sings; remembrance attenuates, then blooms in wonder.
