its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles

I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,

This Transit RegenerationMy TransITion began there
right there
in my woodland playground,
when I first knew
something right feels wrong to others.
I was blind to curve-balls

into mutual belonging.
What is...

it is rare,
if such love exists at all
it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience

during and after a moderate snowfall

The Malignant UlcerI see this ulcer

Magnanimously growing out of context
Thus ticking with apocalyptic dimensions ...
