“Frequency” 

we are separated 
from the others
by a thin membrane

we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own

existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately 

that which we do

Raw young heart of a curious design

Tardigrades aka Water Bears, Moss Piglets

Before T-Rex appeared and the Dodo bird disappeared,
Leading to modern-day scientific knowledge increasement,
Creatures of infinitesimal size called ‘Tardigrades’ endure,
Were and are living and thriving, just about anywhere on earth.

Premium Member Reentry Priorities
I find imprisoning parallels
between early Nazi Germany
and early Roaring Trumpian 20s USA,
between fascist and fake propaganda,
between judicial patriarchal-privileged racist stockpiling,
between CEOs living above our democratically inclusive laws
while self-pardoning for agressions,
trespasses,
debts against a cooperatively co-investing society,

The conduit

the lighter being

in the blood 
walking a strange ocean

magnetised, 
message ignited

turned on,
taken 

the electric body 
like music hums

Solfeggio

The Magician
I was drawn here today,

About life, love, fear...

Compelled towards this delicate space
As I watch those that pace by,
Spaced out...
Do they not...

Syrian Graveyard
Unnumbered human corpses
mutilated and spread
like illegally-shot elephants in Waza Park!
From ‘man know thyself’
to ‘man hates himself’-
humans mutilate humans!

Future-bound glorious infants,
feeble moms
and luck-abandoned dads
bombed, suffocated, shot and slain
by politico-economic drunks!
Yawning stomachs here,
blood-dripping arms there,
open-mouth frozen heads...

What theory unifies forces, weak, strong,
With gravity— also, to which belong
All the string theories of why and because?

As to the issue of singularity.—

Year Ending
December.

My coldest winter ever.

My slow descent
into destruction,
my epic battle with the devil.

Thought I’d never meet her.

Wondered
if I would make it out.
Got so used to being cold,
the warmth I start to flout.

Stifling.

12 months
have slipped between
my fingers.
