By dying leaves and falling raindrops,
I have traced time's starts and stops,
and I have...

It is dawn.
Brother, rise.

The Trial of Christopher Okigbo
I
Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake
Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic
Steady march along beaten footpaths
Hungry earthworms
These reminiscences of plaintive cooing

Forceful Rebuttal
Believing prevarications, from you, confined,

you and me in contact, two afflicted, combined,

Rancorous Benevolence
Archangel that sways upon my peripheral pedestal,
Your eyes flutter gaunt pernickety,
An anachronistic presumption that does not grant fastidious rebuttal,
A perennial anathema that balances on a threshold so rickety,
Your scruples warrant the acceptance of...

Trees (solidity presenting)

Oso, the One-Eyed Wino
Oso the One-eyed Wino
By Gary L Thomas
...has a doubly unique perspective on this
Flat world. The depth that passes as distance
From an objective makes him subject to

To grapple on the hold of restlessness

Oh I throw my hands up to be rid of this mess
I roam and roam...
