MallTel

air purifier?

safety from Nature’s witchcraft?

hereafter’s bird cage?

Unfolding

a hundred million years
from now
will mankind 
move to other worlds
or fade away
entirely

if so
by then
it might be my turn
to walk
upright

Culture

the Rustic toiling

alongside th’ Embellish’d

molds a Way of Life

First Sight

you spoke
to me
smitten I was
by the scent
of your words
blinding me
speechless
… for a moment

your eyes
reflect’d mine
slowly drown’d
in a thickset fog
… for a moment

my mind
became abstract
a caldron
of turbulent thoughts
then mindless
… for a moment

I was in love
I am in love
forever
at least
… for a moment

Contemplation

over half a century ‘tis been
since to th’ unknown
Time first spoke
in the vocabulary of tears

and now Heaven’s Brew crashes
o’er my lodgings
into the blueness
stirring ever brightly
‘twixt th’ Eastern Valley

and tears are spoken again
on Time’s wake
binding myself with old vows         
will ever I keep?

Volcano

open wounds

be it once a year
or once an eon

so long as my veins
swell and burst and overflow

so too will th’ Earth
taste th’ air

so too will other life
be bless’d with breath
