Rogue Ravens

Rabid, renegade ravens, rise.
Relishing rancid refuse; repugnant.
'Round rural relics, resounding ruthless retorts.
Retrieving realm revelations.
Rival reckonings; regimes ruptured.
Repent! Release. Repeat..
Reconcile. Rejoice. Retreat.

Autumn

Endings starting
Leaves are turning
Grass starts browning with
Furnaces burning.
Colder weather
As to focus,
Deeper feelings in
Shallow harvest.
Briskly, daunting
Haunting Spirits
Barren-halled reckonings as
Frost encroaches.
Verdure withered but
Perhaps a good Word;
forgotten pasts buried
In the stillness of the earth.

Listen to poem:
Paradigms Temporality 
David J Walker

There is no question 
That the evening 
seemed to come 
to an end 
too soon

The temporality of 
your days 
The glow of 
a full moon 
On the rise  

bright are the stars 
beaconing’s
as if distant skies 
were attainable reckonings  
wearing nothing  
but our own 
flesh & bone 

the paradigms new 
	Grew 
From the old

Premium Member BRUISES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the collision, the skin remembers~ a slow bloom of violet, tender beneath fingertips. Like storm clouds gathering under the surface, these marks whisper in shades of yellow and blue. They are maps of impact, soft archives where the body keeps its quiet reckonings. Fading hope, a swallowed scream~ proof that even silence can bruise.

Untold

We are the unbegotten 
 We are the unassigned
 Redeemed from oblivion 
 Kept out of mind 

 We are the great rotation 
 Unfolding the sublime 
 An echo of obliteration
 Returning with the tides 

 Unmarked by boundaries 
 Before the birth of lines
 Inhabiting voided forms 
 Unrevealed by signs 

 Dissolving like a vision 
 Or a phantom of the blind
 We are the soon forgotten 
 In the reckonings of time
