Waterlogged
03:44

|
Long after the alien fell,
With ancient whispers,
Upon the moon’s great center,
The lessons were buried under the water.
To the snakes underneath the sea,
The chipmunks were the fodder.
Only the waves of the ancestors reign free.
Drowned slowly, like the Sieve of Eratosthenes,
The seas,
Like Tranquility, bear no sage.
But, the sparrow still flies on its stage,
On the risen sea, alone, on a paddle boat,
With but a single paddle to float.
One hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.
No storm, no cry, no wonder, no why.

Fisherman's Gambit
05:02
|
|||
|
A cold blast of rain,
Strikes, heartless and hollow.
The voices of the drowned,
Ring true for tomorrows.
Acidity, poison,
They were the last methods chosen.
Now the color red of the moon,
Is frozen.
Despair dissipates,
To air,
As angels sing to panda bear.
And to the osprey,
The mourning dove coos:
The raven held no ruse…
The owl will lead,
And the great dragon you will heed.

Element G
05:28
|
|||
|
Amphibian sublimation,
Via quantum stimulation,
Permeating synaptic souls.
The fox can fill the holes.
The secrets between stars,
Greet penguins from afar.
In the space of the mind.
Your energy equals mine.
I am the animal constellation,
And not the opossum.
I am a dream’s physical manifestation,
Satellite petals that blossom.
I am the translator,
Of unicorn vapor.

Airship
06:49
|
|||
|
Facing East,
The eagle flies,
Backwards.
The eagle,
In its eyes,
The open clouds,
No longer skies.
Below the griffin,
Euphoric clouds glisten.
Overland plateaus of longing,
Beg for majestic airships of wanting.
But you are a falcon betwixt,
Soon a phoenix.
Your life-blood still charmed,
And your cardinal treasure,
Unharmed.

Air Busking
03:02
|
|||
|
Air busking,
In the shimmer of twilight.
The A/C leak,
The taillight puddle,
A saxophone poke,
Amongst the muddle.
The silence of clairvoyance,
Gives way to,
The pigeon’s
Playful performance.
While the owl bears its magic,
Above the din of the traffic.

Under the Surface
06:04
|
|||
|
Under the surface,
It rises.
The past,
the present,
entwine.
The cycle,
Ever-present,
The lava’s matter,
Of time.
For as seas subside,
The Earth a porcupine.
Once a Jackal could survive.
Running North from the tide,
Whence the toxic fires reside.
The past again came closer,
Mauna Loa…
Bulldozers.

Crucible
04:36
|
|||
|
In the center of
The bang,
Flamingo
legs sang.
Of the smoke,
After fire.
When all elements conspired.
Hands once tired,
Morphed the fire’s pyre.
A rhino could be followed,
Across Earth,
Now hollow.
The moon,
Its heart,
It lay baking.
Its tender veins,
Still quaking.

Emerald Topaz
04:10
|
|||
|
The curious raccoon,
Resplendent,
In midst of,
Cold hearted stone.
Talking into a star-filled cone,
Filling the jar for those back home.
A cat-like presence,
On the topaz,
on emerald keystone.
Into the cave,
far below,
The whole moon in tow.
A nesting duck,
By an alien scroll,
To unroll...

Rocks
04:57
|
|||
|
Hummingbird light,
Underground delight.
Where there’s no dismay,
Not today.
When you live at night,
You live in the day.
This grizzly broadcast,
Is such a blast.
To portals unknown,
Alight in the sound.
A hawk-like frequency,
Perhaps only zebra see.
A world reshaped,
By a million days’ fate.
The family won’t be late,
For this important date.
