Listening For Firestorms
Always respect this combination of fire and wind,
she tentatively said,
after having listened for healthy and pathological winds
regenerating and degenerating,
investing in and divesting of,
yeasty flames of fertile dopamine.
They, like you,
co-arise of and from the landscapes
in which...

Of rotten stench which the deep...

Be still my heart 1391
Flutter dear heart
Let this mystery start
Of entwined lace
And God’s holy grace
With scented chiffon flowing
Smoke from the chimney blowing
And stifled salted tears
From memories through the years.
Melancholy laments
What my love represents.
Indispensable betrothed vows
That soft emotions arouse.
Paradox wandering...

Thelma and Leanne
"Thelma and Leanne"
prophecies arrived
in dreams that
washed across
the soul in waves
messages were
found like code
hieroglyphic
glitches
written on the walls
of electric caves
by strange poets,
some considered witches
there,
light and dark
rapturously
co-existed
we never slept

Kristy and the Conch Shell
Along some bank of ambiguity.
Isolated while in wonder,
I lacked motivation.
Consequently, I preferred to be someplace different.
I perceived myself wandering near the banks,
Concerning one Tiber River in Rome.
"What is behind me,
Is not in front of me!"
Snickering,...

the edges of a pasture, clever green grass hesitating
