Meandering & Growing
conjuring dreams,
idealisms, petting sharks:
women sailing, men drilling, rattling,
arthritic bones: tragedy waning,
conscienceness has legs,
multiple epiphanies: design is
missing.
ice ages. sulfur hostilities,
mirrors pointing at images.
long hallways, sky vestibules, the
dungeon is deep, some feel
comfortable.
pliable ribcages, stark countenance,
mental hyenas, dingo(s); if to
panic, relax, or gaze, seated at
fire, as intimate strangers.
weasels, meerkats, a cobra nearby,
knitted souls, urine trails, women
frustrated.
loving as witnessed, barbwire agendas,
inveterate passion, and genetics:
alleys, laughing anguish, souls
signaling, mourning into kef.
into silence, deep concentration,
early centeredness, volts; effects
waning, beauty becomes aesthetics,
waxy deliberations.
arguing about ghosts, studying the
remora fish, and stingrays: many feelings,
an inner octopus, more fevers; flexible
willows, mind-bending bars, a
fabulous centerpiece.
Love should be gentle, petting a pika,
seated in grass, analyzing war-ants.
