Short Troglodyte Poems

I troglodyte 
In doldrums, scribbling-
the halcyon days

Promptly, my soul-
recalls, lo beloved's
pumpkin countenance...

the troglodyte span
                      
                 scribbling doldrum brain power

From beyond the vast heights of Helios
The inescapable black leviathan appears;
Crushing existential spheres of consciousness
Juices absorbed by cerebral hemispheres.

Troglodyte souls peer out
From cranial caves and shiver;
Without empirical illumination
Their hearts beat wild and quiver.

Unhinged swinging doors beckon to all
Offering true enlightenment for free.
Heaven or Hell served up cold or hot
Doth compel the blind to see....

One million years ago
Before everything we know
Was "this" even here
On the galactic frontier?

With such uncivil chatter
And a million years from today
Will we have seen doomsday?

What of this present moment
And all its' many components?
Is this the nexus of it all?
End of the aesthete and Neanderthal?...

Slumbering woods bloom
under beetle plowed pulp.
Up above, 
the canopy is bare,
and sheds only white zero’s.

Beetles hum beneath the rot,
detonate inaudible chitinous chimes,

under a dormant mulch.

Everywhere,
ambiguity buds open and close
in a subterranean flurry.

When the ice breaks its quash and quell,
they surface 
round and gleaming
to chase new laid morsels down;
their feeding 
turning earth for the seeding sun....
