With Pinpoint Accuracy
pre-recorded, rewound, filmed again
repetition offers false dimension
seeing double, then in 3-D
"Will I break on through to the other side?"
join Jim, a giant drowned in a thimble
tumble, tumble
swallow another tumbler-full
my perception narrows
from a blurred wide angle lens
smudges from clumsy thumbs
wiped and spread
"Out, out damn spot!"
no such dumb luck
take heed
for there’s no hiding
from the woman viewing
with pin-point accuracy
Last Year's Autumn Leaf
defrosted and dissolved
a wildflower finds roots
Breathe Fire
damselfly
steals one maiden
forever a dragon
My Chirping Cat
my chirping cat
an eager wren
a siren’s call
not a mother’s cry
Come Out of Your Shell
Fibonacci
is dependable
but he cannot be
your only guide
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 ...
looking to the past
to make sense of the Now
a whole lot that isn't figured
is left out of the equation
you won’t see
what you don’t look for
free your mind
watch new worlds form
tumescent, glowing orbs
orotund affluent flows
let your ideas spill over
and mould what comes
next
your consciousness
is indefinable
uncountable and unlimited
until you begin to define
count or limit
exoskeletons of knowledge
philosophies, isms, and methods
incubate and gestate
you are meant to expand beyond
such narrowing parameters
little hermit, come out
or perish under the pressure
of your adopted dimensions
come out of your shell
expand and grow
in the embrace
of a peaceful mind
the subconscious
opens
allows a trust fall
Hiraeth
a familiar light
fall leaves on concrete
longing for dissolved
mem’ries
half-formed deja-vu, hiraeth
I miss what cannot be named
Hallway of Cobwebs
hallway of cobwebs
in neon and flashes; flares
nigh time Las Vegas
strange Ways illuminated
spiders go supernova
ovular lenses
a fantastic impairment
astigmatism
arachnophobia fed
with disco lighting
Footsteps on Pebbles
footsteps on pebbles
a setting sun on the surf
my shadow echoes
Look Up
Look down
into old cracks
scars of ill-use
ripping open edges wide
grey lint and rusted coins
Look up
into the sky
lit by the sun
spilling over the horizon
painting the clouds anew
Look Up
My Heart
my heart
ever exposed
has no immunity
only resilience
Drift Off
drift off to raindrops
my mind takes shelter, deep
settled in a pillow
