Diorama

Points of sound. Flow uninterrupted. Rain runs. Seeking lowest. Untrammeled. Untamed. Incongruous. Place to stay. Water too old to care. Where. Or for how long. Going to lay low. For a while. Aquifer. Spin cycle. Resurface. Polluted. Abused. Leeched. Bleached. Sand. Soil. Rock. Leaves. Cleanse. Until. Cancer free. Chemotherapy. Cellulose. Birds in the canopy. Like nothing happened at all. Colors. Shades. Hues. Tones. Tangled. Interwove. Humid. Acrid on tongue. Human spirit flows through it all. Conscious. Aware. In awe. Downloaded. Apes. No more. Matrixed. Nodes on coordinate wall. Coral. Vole. Heat. Ocean gale. Sand squall. Feelin’ it all. Boredom kills. Keep scrapin’. Spell it. Sell it. Spores scattered. Strings detached. Buoyed by tides. Lifted by sun. Cadence of a mother’s heartbeat. Wrapped in warmth. Ecological discourse. Stop trying so hard. Demons no more. Peel back. Underland. Slide in. Explore. So many doors. Spelunk. Debunk. Ancient myths based in fear. Adorned in threads of gold. Supernova refugee. Snaking through bedrock. Atomic models unlocked. Centrifugal. Spirited. Playful. Scientific conditioning. Placed in a diorama. Gawk. Gape. Keep the line moving. There’s so much more to see! Ceiling. Distant. Dim. Free. Spinning. Transparent. Ill equipped to keep out light. Mist. Walls. Muffled music. Hints of chords. Translucent melody. Floor. Supports us all. As we fall. Through borders. Past ages. Between pillars. Inside dark matter. No matter. It’s all absolutely free! Just keep moving. Through that door. You’ll see. What you won’t believe. Stop. Quiet. Still. Take a breath. Hold it. Let it out. Now another. Hold it. Let it out. Wow. Find space. Take a load off. Set a spell. In these parts we move at a different pace. Slow. Like molasses. Miss so much. If’n you don’t. Tell me your story. I’d like to hear it. We might be related. You never know. Have the same pedigree. I’ve been perusin’ the pages. And I’m thinkin’ it just might be. We’re lost on winds. Sailin’ so far. ‘Fore landin’. Then expandin’. West. Always west. Why’s that, you think? No idea, really. Hmm…yeah, I reckon so. Silence. I’d like to rest. Maybe sleep? Ok, you do that. All’s we got is time. No schedule to keep.

Coyote

Chapter One. Fly. But unfortunately. Tragically. Comically. There becomes here. Every. Single. Time. Keep moving. Dread ‘til dead. Best keep breaths shallow. Rushed. Predictable. Random. It will come, but when? Explosion. Social disaster. Familial carnage. Dust settles. Gone to green. Open. Endless. Never arrive. Just survive. Pedal. Rolling hills. Miles of corn. Woods. Streams. Pastoral jailbreak. Exhaustion. Collapse. Inhale. Finally. Bird song. Insect hum. Sunburn. Water runs along. Slow. Deep. Brown. Safe. Sleep. Longer roads to travel. Walk through the door. Hard habit to break. Distraction. Diversion. Appeasement. Accommodation. Just don’t be mean. Triggered. Translucent. Transparent. Invisible. Wind. Empty. Dusty attic. Comfort. Blanket. Hide. I’m not here. Please leave a message. Flight, not fight. Cozy corner under rafters. Home. Sanctuary. Far away laughter. Like thunder. Echoed talk. Specter. Haunt. Wisp of personality. Hint of presence. Suggestion of life. Numb. Unable to c...

Note to Self

Transitions. Endless. Empty. Anxious. Antsy. Bouncing like a kid. Boring. Interminable flights over vast distances. Never landing. Wanting to scream. Congenitally unsuited. Always waiting. Always traveling. Never arriving. But congenital's not right, really. Genetic trait, sure. Though something else too. Unending tragedies started by murder and mayhem. Clan warfare. Invasion and oppression. Treason. Exploitation. Death and flight by the millions. Numbness – inherited trait. No emotion. Just histrionics. Distraction. Frustration. And when the dust settles: melancholia. Sweet sickness. Old bone. One-note melody. Resigned fate. Trauma hugged by weeping mother. Whiskey. Blurred vision. Waters littered with thin blades – blown out windows. Slivers piercing skin. Keep flailing. Then sing sad songs. All cursed. Threads in history’s loom. Winding through tapestries thousand years long. Trapped in warp and weft. Reverse. Loose ends behind perfect facades. Stupid bickering yanking on frayed...
