Climbing up through and through the vines and tentacles, Watching with primate abandon The arthropods lovingly traverse the earth, Free for a moment of this isocortical cell, Breathing in the beam of gods scattered gaze Here in the light I find myself, Warm and present, Separate from the dark filamentary, Awake for this singular moment…

All these states of matter Along orbital shells I loop ionic Traveling between valence rings In the great transfer of energy, The primordial flow of everything Through clouds of probability I condense into a moment, A vast measure of existence Held within a single breath, Then release and repeat I am removed and returned In…

Hot coke in the sun Another day where best intentions Vaporize before you Why listen when there’s so much in silence Chemical warfare explodes Flooding these galactic reservoirs Dimensional nodes electric The great struggle to remain A Prisoner of the Body Molecules expire in waning breaths Stars shiver in their dark cavities And all in…

In the transits of stellar witness do I find myself So small Minute A speck of energy in the great exchange Radiating outward this hidden light within Heat Trapped and anxious Hitching for a ride home Red waves penetrate the night Shifted Curving along the path of greater objects Locked in their own orbits of…

The warm tail of summer comes whipping back Each day Burning melanin tattoos in varying shades of light By twilight it settles Quivering Dreaming tomorrow’s torment Still the heat exchangers go blasting hot air into the quiet vacancy of night The ionosphere thins Combines Reshaping with the earth’s endless dark frequency Highways buzz in thermal…

Open wide to all this emotive resonance These platitudes of wonderful possibility In the same wilderness my mind wanders Roam lessons forgotten and found again, Released back out into the dark To resolve and know again And again Catch and release Awaiting a more complete fable to return Lost in this, These lovely wooded columns…

Identity linked, Re-established I Burst forth Falling through the heat of re-entry Born again into this selfsame hominid Radiant with insight Upright and eyes vibrating, Looking skyward for any rooted structure To lead me back in to the out there, The gravity of all disembodied Hydrocarbon chains that came before, Fathers, mothers, matter and anti-matter,…
