Short Narrower Poems

The circumference
Is narrower than the height
And it can take flight
But has no wings
The quadrants four
No less, no more
Is all it needs
As rhythm bleeds
Four chambers 
-four halls
Yet no walls
Fleetingly occupied
Stabbed
And often broken
By simple words
Softly spoken...

ANTECEDENTS
espoused
in
intense
authentic
 hegomony
 surrounded
 overwhelmed

solemnity

survivial
an
aftermath

 to   scare
but
the
individual.
 little changed
remains
inordinately
heroic

&
affliction
unresolved

lies
in

Words are born and some change, adapt, some wilt;
Norse drips into French seeps into English, hidden treasures under silt.
Blendings swirl meanings and semantics shift our daily use;
once uttered by tongue, electric touch now lets language loose.

A shadow walks right beside me
A dark cloud of what once was
Sometimes, it rest upon my hand
Sinking down, like quicksand
On the left another hand follows
This hand is not cold or hollow
Warmth and piece intertwine with me
And for a moment I walk free.
As the road becomes narrower
There only is room for two
Which side will fall away to darkness?
Which hand will lead me to the light?

A depersonalized holocaust slowly proceeds
Under convertible assuaged currency
Separate disparate lives, anonymous dredging
Tear against the land, air, and crawling

Human hands finalized the creed
Scourging banks to let the biosphere bleed
Recognizing no natural dignity
Expect that converted into commodified property

Distraction allows us to peel away
Taking the mind narrower still
And filling the void with caramelized exchanges
Simply  look away
The slave servitude continues...
