The Splay

As it all splays

before us

reluctantly

we engage

there is no other

way

Dam

River

courses

down

concrete

spools

beneath

lake

The Lights' On

It has been unusually hot
El Nino portends badly
am I drawing on it?

I roam between opposites
its always exciting to visit
La Nina sweetly portends

I think "it" is coming on

Along

Along the halls

who the hell are we

voting for

I think there is no one

where have we come

our values undone

It is all special interests

complex securities

for all who serve

All their special interests

compounding as we go

impounding other values

 

Holidays

Holidays

Holidays 

always 

set us up

Yet we 

never give

them up

We gather

we work

the group

We leaf

them away

until later

It is Dark

It Is Dark

dark rules my day

dank could apply

then springs arise

I up, down, up, down

high, high, high I

meet the light

dark rules

dank applies

meet the light

it is a choice

Night

Moon yellow street lamp

shines in my window

works as a substitution

for dreaminess

Non-Scripted

I am thirsty
I am tired
May my thirst
be supplanted
sprouts
rise

Gods’ Temple

Agate in black

twirling universe

perfection

We mudded it up

now we can’t get

back

Polar ice caps

melting methane

bubbles

Always looking

never satisfied

dead

Ah, Dust

It is a cloud we breathe
as it weaves the planet
stirring up debris

So much debris the
planet is overwhelmed
our home soon obliterated

I hear thunder booming
sky dark

Family

They were here

now they’re there

taken by the sea

or so it seems

no one noticed

anything

Dry

It grays the sky

fire and smoke

ashes down

below smolders

Discount

I must discount

so many things

to feel happiness

yet happiness 

abides despite misery

it lives in the heart
