Ascension too fast
Lungs explode before tongues meld
alive once again
Fine pointillism
clarity from a distance
planets at the edge
Shout hallelujah
frenzied oxygenation
salt water on lips
Accelerating
behind us time looms ahead
wrapped implicitly
Love again refrains
adrift on sunny sandbars
palm fruits, dates, acai
We are young again
stellate beings thrice reborn
twice kissed we are alone
Two swimmers azure
water beaded sky blues hope
refracted visions
Before words we were
nothing, pointed subtlety
essentially stars
Will never lose me
mouthed indistinguishably
there underwater

Suddenly without
love’s denouement sings sadly
still ache crescendos
Massive cores collapse
passages to yesterday
bridges to Other
Melody solo
lost, searching harmonically
hearts rapt atonal
When stars burn cooler
life has opportunity
everywhere blue worlds
Shall never find me
resounds off wet chamber walls
where echos loiter
The scent of Goddess
permeates all creation
sweet salinity
A flickering flame
somewhere a flue, air to breathe
pinpoint light quite dim
Life is atmosphere
creatures born to see the light
watercolorists

peace, love, light, and the promise of rejoicing
Circular water
too near the edge of the falls
the promise to drown
Godspeed is lightspeed
we see until we are blind
not invisible
Holding fast they plunge
in momentary freefall
defying the crush
We are dark matter
more of us than meets the eye
feel our gravity
Two plummet headfirst
upturned soles to God’s heaven
the tickle of love
Ripped seams in space-time
blessed beings emerge headfirst
the dead prefer breach
Plumes of graceful froth
envelop twin beating hearts
up until the sere
Nothing left to burn
suns die everyday out here
to leave voids of love
cc: CC '23 peace, love and light to all
Stars are formed in clouds
of gas and dust, nebulae
nuclear at core
The eddies mist cold
lavender melts under snow
bleeds purple on white
Stars provide enough
energy brightly for years
the exact lifetime

I imagined once I would be here, as surely as I remember that day now, there upon a time yet living cc: Chagall 2021
now and then I end up in this timeless morning where memory and hope reconcile to define me I yearn for that which I already have longing for just a moment longer I am best when I am in stark relief against the world I am the figure or the ground timeless life is art cc: Chagall 2021
I startled myself today
peeking through a glass
reflected in a window

This morning a butterfly sleeps
on the screen of my porch with antennae
lightly cupping the mesh
I stare deep into her round compound eye
and blow gently along her abdomen
She stirs, lifts off in flight then vanishes
Chagall 2017
I hear music in wind and machines, voices in the trees,
harmony amid the sleek hum of gears finely-tuned,
who vibrate on cilia to haunt me, to trace intervals,
motifs of being, a soundscape to mark me aware,
you are the rest between motion, a buoy in time both
solid and bulbous, a weight against storms,
a body of reckoning to counter the onslaught
of melody.

In the presence of the timeless
I weep openly
