owls sit in the dark and listen
for mammalian prey
tunneling
through deep snows
below the
trees
plunging, they seize
their next
meal

water
aquatic, liquid
bridging, damming, subduing
oceans, pools, / yards, continents
digging, tunneling, conquering
solid, terrestrial
earth
The hot rain was pregnant with moisture
Atmosphere foretold thunderstorm
Animals began to hide
Burrowing into earth
Crouching under bush
Slipping in holes
Tunneling
Hiding
Safe
Morning light seeping in
Like a wisp of a breath
In winters frigid air
Spectrum of silver light
Like sunlit cushioned clouds
Against paper-like walls
And shadows disappear
Quick, like snakes tunneling
Searching for
The green spice
while
the gigantic worms are
Tunneling through the
Red sand dunes of mars
thus
Building bundles of lightning
and
Engaging in the sandstorm
until you
Bring me the green spice
tiny worm beneath
the soil tunneling spirals
mix dampening soil
~
all accountable
dirt close to being mud worms
ready for fish yah!

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2026©
Shattered shell the pieces settle, succumbing to time
A spell so subtle.
A fog of complacency numbs the scrapes
As tendrils of memories seep deep-
Tunneling down twisting hard narrow vessels
Until the sickness settles.
This heart will stop-
When healing neglects.
Citations and revelations.
Each laying claims to names.
What would it be,
if they were what they're not?
Rather than what they seem to be.
One and the same,
Different as night and day.
Always the first to come last.
Always there when needless.
Always gone when critical.
Logically muddled,
Tunneling through
The sea of our subconcious.
morning light seeps in
like a wisp of a breath
in winters frigid air
spectrum of silver light
like sunlit cushioned clouds
against paper thin walls
as shadows quickly
appear: rush to these paper walls
like tunneling snakes
light brims golden,
spattering dewdrop fields-
glittering jewels
their moistening of
blades bending to the winds
echoing a hollow morn'
Surrender
stoops in darkness
Defeat
its noble kin
Valor weeps
on bended knee
Honor lost
— when blood runs thin
***
The Pen
Words attack
the armor
of every
given age
To right the wrongs
all shields prolong
their pen attacks
— with rage
***
Leaving Old Choices
Tunneling out
of mortality
Inching my way
toward the light
Leaving old choices
of dire repute
Trading ill fortune
— for heaven’s delight
