Waves shape the sound of soaring sea Ride the tides of what ought to be Layer on layer out of reach Breaking breakers bound on our beach Stirring swirls make clear waters curl Rolling rumblings leap to unfurl Watery spritz that twist then sway As bubbled foam pulls back away Each wave differing grasping high Trying to touch the spacious sky Dreams drenched in schemes...

My thoughts walk barefoot on gravel roads—aching, slow, and scattershot. My mind drifts like dusk in worn linen—frayed, faded, and folding in on itself. My mind, grown tired of its tidy metaphors, slumps like a clerk at closing hour—unnoticed, necessary, numb. My brain, vast as prairie land at sunset, lies fallow—dreaming the hush between thunderclaps. My brain has taken...

feet tracing ruts softened by the weight of others the path was worn polished not by insight but by generations unquestioning the same direction a weed split the sidewalk where my foot hesitated they handed us maps already marked, folded creased at the routes they wanted us to traverse walls hung with heirlooms no one claimed shadows longer than the rooms classrooms’ chalkboards of certainty offices pressed flat with...

Lone Wolves in The Fog Memories like lone wolves in the fog interlope my conscious mind Pedigrees that are hierarchical that seem too cruel and unkind Energies that are patriarchal that permeate throughout mankind Reveries that are anarchical rare contradictions that run through the mind Graceful tones of purity that provide a calming of the soul Spaceful...

"The more in science we advance, The more do we grow," you say; Still, Nature's love, abundance Forgive us all in every way. She lessons us to endure Just like the green grasses do; We, humans, can't all ensure; We fail to remain pure and true.

Culminations of Beauty Culminations of beauty cascading down from a twighlight sky Ruminations worth refuting while I’m always asking why Communications leave me fuming as the point is lost and denied Calculations that are looming while my economic apprehension is justified Impressionistic teenagers looking for the next influencer streaming Chauvinistic infiltrators preying on the innocence of...

Objections to The Rule Objectification of a person happening every single day Quantification on what is certain when the process has lost its way Magnification hiding behind the curtains like a child wanting to play Qualification of my burdens as there’s always a price to pay Calibrations of mechanical tones that require problem solving Elevations of puritanical...

Galvanised Atmospheric Innovation Urban atmospheric galvanised creatures Turbans that are stratospheric turning into teachers Burdens that are esoteric and one of my personality features Certainty that is generic as you’re hiding from the preacher Stacks of written words surrounding me like an army of white confessions Hacks that have been heard among pleas reaching for heaven The exact...
