Awakening intention burns?as neural roads unwind. Reaching past reflexes like butterflies from cocoons. Rhythmic movements carve?the skills she'll always find. Object permanence sparkles bright like diamonds in her sight. Orchestrating muscles smooth,?her future self designed. Hand-eye coordination weaves like...

the ghost of science, born of blasphemy ~ a fossilized fallacy, seized from the metallic heart of Mars, seeks light amidst night-terrors like an alien sculpted from artificial accolades, an embryo stuck in the interstellar state of becoming, stitched within radioactive ribs beneath moonless skies, when wolves of the eclipsed howl, filling the illusive air with hypnotic lies, as if the world chose to recycle ...

Breezy, break away free bird, as free as easy as the wind wanderess go onward ~ through life~ with an incessant need to find solace and meaning back in god’s grace It’s penetrating places you roam and journeyed from Free bird, without a home, without your flock Once wings spread across golden honey horizons then held still on a dock Cries o’er the retched waves drenched in its...
