  • i zen not

    i zen not
    it reeks of haiku
    on bird-shat
    statues

  • under star

    sleeping spoon under star
    blue moon, turquoise nights
    running whitewater overhead
    everything path stays on path
    running shadowed forest
    embraced of moment's arms

  • tossing a rune — 10jun25

    ehwaz
    sitting backwards
    to see what is ahead
    a long and winding road
    wending through forests
    to before we were young
    in tall pines
    three crows calling

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random. Today’s rune is ehwaz, which has a core meaning of “horse”. A horse is often associated with journeys, travel and movement. By extension, it also implies symbiosis with another living creature and loyalty, or trust.

  • daybreak sends

    to quell all dreaming
    long black snake riding
    writhing at land's end

    days i tire of thinking —
    must be something more
    just around the bend

    pull over waysides
    drinking travel mug brew
    to stare at what daybreak
    sends

  • door in the wood

                  — and yes i recall
    the hill with the tree and
    the door and the key
    but i don't think it
    will turn for me
    anymore

        — so who will remember
    when the rain starts to fall
    of that door in the wood
    to let the ghost
    of me in?

  • consuming flame

    Campfire

    dirt under nails
    cut ragged for
    all the digging
    leaving roots
    bared to the sun

    my lifeblood
    flows these
    seeking fingers
    and i stare
    wondering
    where it has
    all been drawn

    wicker the dreams
    at the man
    caging flame
    consume all
    desires for ash

  • dreams only

    i suppose that sometimes
    a dream is only a dream
    but these always lean
    towards rude awakenings

  • holiday

    Photo by Stephane Gagnon on Unsplash
    overdone & unmoored
    sent adrift & becalmed
    uncertain of standing
    or taken sitting down
    wondering what was
    done to deserve these
    days

    you're due for holiday
    they say, but where do you go
    when even going away
    makes you feel like this
    on these days

  • her waters flow

    under burning skies
    and
    echoes in between
    wander as shuffle 
    grow at weary
    aching for a fall
    to wash hands in
    her waters flow

  • axis;

    Photo by Tengis Galamez on Unsplash
    we all a whorl
    turning in & out
    labyrinthine & fell
    for the internal
    shadowed twists
    allowing for hel in our
    heart bone hearts

    can you see your teeth?

    we lay down there
    at the wytching tree
    buried of her womb
    wishing we could
    embrace her dream
