THE VALUE OF X

I searched through and through just to find it.
Looked among varying variables, while holding my love's coefficients to multiply with.
I summed up my expressions, ready to find the term
that could be my constant, in the midst of the unknown.

I believed in her geometric prowess.
With the leap of faith, we passed the "sine's," "cosine's," and "tangent's"

Colors of the Wind

pause to hear a storm
listen to its vast noises
admire its voices
winds that blew in infamy
crackled as romantic fires

state huts wade through muck
spiders and newborns pancaked
trouble from the breeze
it stretched over our tall walls
but into their tenements

furious horses
unimagined violence
warfare wind wallops
nests shaken out by breezes
some people gather again

Reachable Constellations

I waver at the star teeth
of my own invention,
accreting webs of wild light
where night trades
cold for dark
sidereal heat.

I am not here for mundane marvels—
I am here to manifest my most 
daring fantasies into reachable 
constellations,

grasping at the ungraspable—
drawing unfathomables to fruition.

The River Remembers Sky

Written: August 14, 2025

             ************

River answers cloud with shimmer, and cloud
with a hush that folds into silver—

a breath that rises through its forgetting,
still and wild, akin to an unspoken name.

Between echo and echo, intellection
unbuttons its syntax,

and the ancient self thins.
into filaments of looking.

Now

old tv box
emerging from snow
with its rustic culture

The Old Way

In the rain shadow of Majave Desert I eat hot sand
I am singing with their Death Valley
I have allowed them to build my faith under a Joshua Tree
                           

I am Blue

B orn on a Wednesday, a child of solemn woe
L onesome in wonder, but  flirting with the 'why's
U ndine's daughter, thus brazen like a flow
E rudite wanderer, fleeting in the sky
 
G ladly I receive this God-given mystery  
I ncandescent oceans hiding deep discovery 
R  ivulets outflow as ink-penned filigree

Nature of The Beast

It stalks in silent corners of the mind,
a whisper, jagged, dark, and undefined.
Its claws creeps walls we dare not show,
eyes ecstatic where our hearts should glow.

It scoff on mistrust, on every hidden fear,
gnawing at the edges of what we hold dear,
A silent growl underneath the laughing sound--
A truth too fierce to face the day unbound...

Yet

I am Black

ready olives
oil slicks, carbon, nightlife
jazz, tunnels before light

RENEWED

Blows Eastward,
a destination fate had prepared.
    Renewed,
is a bludgeoned heart,
no longer fueld by loneliness and despair...

The demise of a mountainous boulder,
crashing downward with it's mighty weight;
             Crushing ageless fossils,
broken from a lifetime of decay.
      

Normalcy

A return to Normalcy
As night comes, all are at ease 
We turn into slumber 
In the electric comfort 
Of artificiality that is our lives 
We revel in the false sense of our own 
Modern conveniences
We forget the thin veil between 
Our electric life, truth of nature’s brutality
Of our existence, we believe we are
Immune to the

AMERICA POINT OF VIEW

Without geography
The USA is this world
Others, mere planets...

Japan is in Russia
Brazil is in China
China is out there in the world...!

Geography is a personal study
of the USA... Others are satellites

MORNING LIGHT

       
    Man must live with enough, not
with the exorbitant...
We need to be happy
with the happiness of others
around us... thus,
we will live in peace...
But first of all, we need
to have the courage to live in peace!
Distributing is not impoverishing ourselves
materially to help
those who are wronged... doing

SEEDS OF WISDOM

The seed of freedom is curtailed,
germinates interrupted,
the harvest is delayed...

The fruit of freedom
may take time to be harvested,
but it is worth every stoic sacrifice...

We cultivate God,
ending wars,
celebrating peace,
living life with love!

The sands of time dripping,
leaves and flowers wilting.
natural wisdom flowing!

Wisdom consists simply in...
knowing how to plant well,
cultivate, and harvest...!

Giving Caesar what is his,
is not ignominy,

Raining bombs falling,
There are no war umbrellas:
Wet blood everywhere:-
