Factor one
stepping back
alters
temporary view
reflects
imagistic state
reversals intent
shift
veils of mind
delusory reruns
Your gift
your name for reflections
only you admired
conjured
from virgin ash
unclaimed
unsubstantiated, too
You pose
like Alaska
Solitude
neither lonely
nor alone
contemporary silencer
mantra’s focal
centre
high wire balancer
sane levels
keeper mind

Editor plucked
Words
thinking chicken
her cluck-clucking plays
stinging silver
feathers
believing she could
skin Me, too
Awakening in anger
heart’s rhythms speed
transgressor’s features blurred
nightmares fade powerless
when sunlit veils recede
at dawn.


I place you here
in plain view
to gaze into depths
imagine
what once your words
must have
meant
I like smart people
no apology
I like smart people
they challenge me
I wish there were more
teaching
drawing us toward
better

Too much information
so many lines
enticement  in silent gestures
Lies  and rips
undermining plump lips
even your shoes suspect slip

Â
Trees root
I shelter
Wolves ramble
I dancer
Rivers ripple
I breathe
They are we
We are we
Life key
Unlocked
Indomitably
