Ravi Shankar Died The Other Day
Earthwide rhythms, the gentle whisper
erupts in new and beautiful
usualless jewels.
Sounds that move mountains
and within
it contains the sun,
the rain: it breaches seasons,
relieves all cause and worry,
redeems all meaning.
Intuitive music,
selfless twists of genius.
Some quiet and some
with aching gales.

A Close Call Scenario
Deer perks up stares around in all directions.
Fails to see
The Lion in the Distance.
Deer presumes feeding.
Lion moves
paw by paw
devouring the Earth with delicate steps.
Every method of skulk and treasured
jewellery feet.
Claws clip and
chance the branches
fallen a million
years before
and now the shadow
of death resembles sunlight...

The Memory of Tongues
One for all,
all for nothing.
Sweet winter cools the dry
of summer nights and splintered
dreams that shadow
endless preying hours.
Sleep
the poor man's weed,
a fortress of leisure
til wake forsakes you.
Outside the shattered leaves fall silent.
Wet glass batters petal echoes.
What is the world?
Why?

Foreign Island Dream
Last night my
symbiote showed me
a soft summer kiss
in a foreign island
dream.
A blue eyed english girl,
mushroom picking,
legs entwined
and shrugless.
It showed me
the slowing world
of my other
self.
I am not one.
We are many, yet
too few to name.
As I remember this, it
must recall

Rain and Mind
Rain and mind are one.
They fall, affect nature,
uptake and
deteriorate
statues.
Rain and mind are one.
They kill and maim
with enough time.
Rain and mind are one.
I think of this
as Chopin flicks another
kind finger
towards the moon.

As soon as you open your eyes

Come forward child.
Do not be afraid

A Child Divides
A child divides the second

All our usual selves

some will live forever.
Our multiversal persons

savagely and in the most
perfect, foremost differences.

I lost my.
Not in a ha ha way

This death

I thought no sleep would

out of death
but
the world had an ending
I could not figure

Heard not answered
As the poor drugs of poetry
Did little to benefit query
