silt drys layered

molten steam singes life
bones crushed down below surface
seed never more green

we are but silt
in a river called time
heading toward a worm-hole
draining a past toward a future
trying to make sense of the sense of it all

The moon,
a medicine bottle shaking silt and shadow,
drunk to the bottom by
shifting clouds, thirsty for the
the stilt man stalking
pitch roof Brooklyn
warm night July.

Pastoral heart of drifting swain
Seeking fair lilly my field requite
Thick clover only passive streams drain
Silt each furrow with frilly delights
Cloak jade meadow with fecund light

yes Sara K
life moves on ,
and flowers wilt,
but love does burn,
right to the hilt,
in the background of thought,
amongst the silt,
the red-tips bloom again...

Ballad
Water cascades down the falls
untethered from protocols.
And gouging out river beds
deposits silt as it spreads.
The sky smiles with a rainbow
and in the mist far below,
water cascades down the falls.

Crashing waves
white capped guilt
Stone like will
crushed to silt
Parry clouds
this driving rain
Heartbreak city
shows no pity
Looks of hope
a slippery slope
Changing lanes
while dodging pain
Reality smacks in your face
desperation to keep pace.

Elegiac Lyric
To lament the lion hearted
to cowering in trembled skin
befits the bottom dwelling things
the silt under wool of society's rug
While bravery is steel in stance
and oils the jaws of recovery
the bite of poison from burnt mouths
will hit the heel every time.

50th anniversary...
an anormal film
no hollywood fights
love triangles or monsters...
no thing as absurd
possible fiction
a reversed reality...
was worth a tear
all the worlds a stage
and we are but some actors...

just under his kilt
slightly hanging at a tilt
from the tip to hilt
once great weapon starts to wilt
highland dirk ~ covered in silt

The river kicks up its heels in swinging sway and lilt.
Winding downstream in a sinuous snaking stream bed it built
By eroding outer bends, building up its inner bends with silt
Defying the straight and easy path, which like a flippant lover it jilt

The lilies lilt
on single stilt
their beauty built
to never wilt
from earthen quilt
that God did sew
those lilies grow
with heads like snow
to bless each row
because they know
our hearts will slow
from first sin's woe
and garden guilt
returns to silt

So near and so far
you live together
sorting through the detritus of life.
*
The erosion
sends back the gravel,
the sand and silt of human script.
*
The violence,
will it end someday ? Asks
a child playing with a time bomb.

She swims on streaming sonata of spring song,
sailing slow sings solo in squall surge so strong,
slips on sheer slippery slope of sticky silt sheets,
on split Sitar of snapped strings she sourly sits.

Hungered yearning for justice;
Crumbling statues with deafened ears,
Teardrops eroding mighty mountains,
As silt gathers year by year;
The crimes of gluttonous heroes
Told in each layer of collected memory,
Let one be mixed with rust,
Of those shackles from which
We were freed.

Serenading sea shore she strolls singing spring song
Sauntering solo she suffers squall’s surge so strong
Steep slippery slope’s sticky silt sucks, so she slips
Swelling surfs submerge, salty sap she sourly sips.

I steal a little line
From here …or ….there
A half a quote
Still in its underwear
Then weave these words
Into a threaded quilt
Sign my name
Feel a bit of guilt
For without straw
The bricks
Are just wet silt.
So, mix your mortar thick
Feed passion’s need
To hide within its grip
Its pilfered seed.

Sleep in your eye's
Crumbles like Pie
Upon fresh sunrise dawing
On garden awning
And it can't protect in all directions
As the Sun moves full circle
When the Dead turn Purple
And come the flower Wreaths wilt
Full tilt into ashes and silt
Waving Farewell
Is the Heart's call
To rage against Hells machinery

Amidst forests and rocks,the river flows like super jet
Livelihood for the organisms yearning for its advent
Adept at adapting shape,just to benefit others
Ungrudgingly accumulates minerals,silt and ores
Even after discerning our attempt to befoul it

The sun don't shine
Beyond the lines
The cloud's
Cover
Undiscovered
The flowers wilt
Radiating the guilt
The salt and silt
The hurricane built
In an atmosphere
Fitting for this age
Of rage
The earth is but a stage
To play tricks upon
Render the thirst of kaos
Look how the gods
Play us
When we don't obey thus

In river tombs, patrolled by bull shark sentries,
sifting through the heartbeat of centuries
for fossilized teeth of terrifying behemoths
who never laid eyes on the many faces of man
would have devoured him if given the chance
a mineralized tooth and *****sapien hand
meeting where oceans and rivers dance
in the silt of Pliocene dreams.

it loves me
it loves me not
this ball of id and fiery snot
bleet bleet bleet
the runt of life
this shallow sheep
stomping Gossomer mice.
Eating shadows keeping score
a sagging Teet
a dripping bore.
The game is up, the pinball tilts
this tired game of slag and silt.
It loves me
It loves me not
this ball of id and fiery snot.

She swims on squealing stream of spring song,
sings solo sailing slow in storm surge so strong,
slips on steep slippery slope of sticky silt sheets,
on snapped strings of split Sarangi she sadly sits.
(Sarangi is an Indian musical instrument with three
or four main strings)

The rain enters back
into your eyes.
A private door quivers.
A moonless beam
flashes before you.
You start seeing in dark.
Silt settles in headless bodies
of poems.
The shadow of a tree-
opens the seeds of
unknown. The world is shattered
by an unending scream.
The struggle with the decision
was there, you squeeze
me like a prayer.

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.
Ancient lexis under threat became narrower with colonial treks;
Luhu and Yahagn, two dodo vocabularies now buried within texts.
