Chatting In The Drift

I am intrigued by how blizzard snow removes reverb from the world
how your voice carries urgent presence atop cold flat air

Downtown Uptown Friday Night!

Shirt out
a lot o’rolls
tucked in
different but better
rolls go away
now just a matter of
contour

Self-Starter

I’ve reshaped the constellations
to reflect what I see

I have no interest in
how others see heaven

Makes it so easy
to now know the sky

So

I only have a moment to tell you that
today the air was more electric than before and
the beauty of existence at large is so overwhelming that
I feel alive from my belly up into my neck then
something odd happens in my face and mind

I want desperately to cry, to weep at the wonderful
creatures that are all about, these colors of all senses

How do I tell you all of that in
this our only moment?

Life In A Nutshell

Here.
Is.
The end.

Intrinsic Pattern

I hold my head
I move my hands
sculpted fingers

In poised asymmetry
I trace rotations
about my core

I am the orbits
of moon around earth
around sun

I am
polyrhythm

Downtown Saturday Night

I’ve had it for the night
The club is smoky, the vibe less tight
Than certainly I would have crafted

She is boring, probably bored
Hasn’t heard me the first time
So I shout over the music

The tune is called
Monosyllables Affirm The Humdrum

To which she says Oh
and nods

I write at a desk
with a window behind me

When my screen goes dark
it reflects the sky
that spans there
over my shoulder

Where a red-tailed hawk
on air currents glides
circling my login prompt

I cherished
those youngest days
so lush, wet with life,
implicate order and hope.

Earthen Promise

How I cherished those youngest days
so lush, wet with life,
implicate order and hope.
