We fall onto this canvas
A color contrasting your world
Pale blue dots, points in your actions
Reveal more questions to hold
Discouraged and restless
Falter, falter, fall
Keep up to keep standing
Exhaust what’s for all
Fall through
Find new colors
Paint your palette bright
Flee, fly over the shadow,
Poetry of this Earth’s heart
Observe, react, magnetic attraction
Pull these strands apart
Fall through
Find new colors
Paint your palette bright
Fall Through
Redefine patterns
Stars into mountains
Fall through
Find new colors
Paint your palette bright

Stolen Day

I drew at birth
This fine essential flame
Chaos in structure
I fly in the dark
Weave through turmoil
Alive I soar
Now I dance
I found a way
Through bird's threat and weather
A field clean of grey
I bear this weight
A thousand to one
The life of much bigger
A king be undone
But I dance
I find a way
At home in this storm
This weaving I know
I lock my sight
The nectar my goal
Far from
Brimming cells
Unjust expectation
Second to none
Mites, moths, and beetles
Smoke and desire
My sisters work
The sun brings life home to us
And I dance
My wings unravel
I'll find my place
Among dirt trees and gravel

Cities of Sand
09:56

A city shines
gleaming lights and gold
Our city bright
The envy of our world
Replaced all curves
With lines from our design
Paved our fields
With pipes and silver wire
You watch the ticking hand
Instead of the sun
When the storm comes
Where will the water run
See the towers grow
Your words mean nothing
They never stop
We’ll build them to the sun
Our plans dictate this
See page Eleven
We follow the lines
Of our design
You channelled your waters
As they scour the land
Tore the tops off mountains
Built cities of sand
The silence between you
The concrete above
The river is charging
Breaking the banks
In perfect straight lines
Hear the churn and grind
Will your towers stay standing
When your foundation gives up
Here we stand
Towers Fall
Here we stand
At our ruins
Here we fall
From all grace
Here we fall
Waters Rise
Wake Up
The River
Water
Always Wins

Constellation
Static feel
Old clouds
Find me
I hear
Nothing
I float
Alone
Alive
Breathing
My eyes
Close the dawn
A real
Sense, urgent
But distant
And concrete
All lines
Converge
In this moment
I am here
Feel this winter
As the snow
Resumes
Its spiral dance
Bring this
Hazy ether
That pitch
Feels complete
I find
My Eyes
I find
Maya

Spring

Break the roads with roots
I burst through these lines
You are forgotten
Erased by vines
New spores discover
Welcoming shores
In lungs, in wind
Future walls are built
Infect the roads with roots
Broken the lines
You are forgotten
Displaced by vines
New spores discover
Fresh fertile ground
In lungs, in wind
Growing unbound
I Draw up the shoot
Crack the ice
Cry new breaths
As tendrils climb
I am
The Thaw
Coughing Carbon
As oceans rise
Cherry blossoms
Miss their cue
I am
The Thaw
Strands reformed
Sewn together
New dawn rises
evolve and flourish
I am
The Thaw
All is
Forgotten
All is
Plowed under
I am
The Thaw
Broke the roads with roots
Blood runs through the lines
You are forgotten
Overgrown by vines
New spores discovered
Fresh fertile ground
Your cities give way
To nature unbound

Fading stars
Pull up the sun
And morning dew
Becomes the clouds
Silent fields
Of sunflowers
I see waves
Pull you under
Use my hands
To push you down
Let the tide
Purge your crimes
Put yours
Onto mine
Wash off
My guilt
With fine
Perfumed words
Wash off
My guilt
Put yours
Onto mine
Wash off
My guilt
Honor this
Wine-dark sea
Filter this
Paradox
All the birds
Have all agreed
Done the math,
Proved my case
Cold blue waves
Pull you under
With these hands
I pushed you down
Let the tide
Hide my crimes
Strong and swift
Will clean this
Act of mine
Of all wrong
I’m absolved
With these words
Create this
Wine-dark sea
You’re free
Breathe
The waves
Release
Find new shores
