Smoke Deck

Left to right,
An arrow of longevity,
One long horn 
Echoing in the darkness,
A signal 
For the wary seafarer.

Left to right, 
On the edge of an invisible plane,
Forbidden fruit
Lay beyond the reach of the crippled.
What is there 
Beyond a picketed horizon?

Left to right,
From three bird’s eyes,
Triangulation,
Becomes intended movement.
A broken table 
No longer bears two dimensions.

Compass Companion

Life's subtle challenge;
A series of races
Between her pursuit 
Of painted faces
And encumbered, 
fleeting motivation,
Births an unprecedented 
Means of education.
What are friends for, 
If not a point in the right direction?
Look there, Alice.
What do you see in the reflection?

Suicide

How lonely she must be

Her trusted bird forcibly forsakes the warmth of its roost for another

Her beautiful leaves weakly wave goodbye to the reality of their being

Her delicate bark hesitantly hibernates behind an icy embrace to emerge battered

How lonely she must be

A Plague

This place forsaken,
These shadows weighing upon the crust of the earth.
The agonized met by the savior of their predecessors,
Who's decaying kiss lay fresh upon seven blessed arrows. 
The savior calls to the silence, beckoning eternity's arrival, 
life's departure. 
Souls tortured by a savior's stain; 
The savior beckoned the rise of a Saint.

Ballpoint

This fish,
it bleeds unwillingly a river of black
through its one free eye,
gives a trail not taken back.
Though this fish bears no scales,
nor gills of its own,
swim it does,
as a tool of the author, Unknown.
