Short Evidential Poems

An onyx ink impression
spirals in unique form,
from the dizzying loops
etched in soft flesh--

where furrows weave
like trenches in the earth,
dotting the surface 
with ridges and islands

Candle light
Incandescence overlain with grime

Starry night
Shared soundless echoes

Sunset
Filtered reality, fingerprint detail

Bricks
Lasting dust of labourer

Pencil marks
Temporarily lead on

Wired
Release from malleable cage 

Sink into dreams
Existence grabbed from beneath

Clouded view
Thinned eyelids obscure insight

Tapestry
Lose hours for immortality

Pass notes
Evidential transference of notion...

The chitinous mechanics
of head, thorax, and abdomen,
clicking exoskeletons,
the chirring of dry whispers.

Houses crumble as evidence.
Trees rot and give witness.
Caves crawl
with their evidential passing -
they command the locomotion and menu,
of the inevitable.

We who must be consumed,
know that as prey we are not too large,
and so, we lumber on as elephants will,
on their way
to long prepared graveyards.

God if you will it, please give me a girl;
One with an eye that shines like a pearl.

I’ll show her love and respect and prove my potential;
And if you give me her soon this will be evidential.

For so long I have attempted to understand,
This sweetest emotion that turns people to sand.

Please give me a chance to experience you’re great gift,
With which hearts shall be mended and heads it will lift.

God please I beg you, please send her to me –
Sooner more than later, I hope it to be....
