a WRITE_1
of passage

passage: from περᾰ́ω  (peráō)

to go from one side to another

to pass through, over or traverse, cross, esp. over water

(intransitive) to penetrate or pierce (of a pointed weapon)

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

Sand-horses fly through the dunes

hooves splitting air with golden light.

Nostrils sucking, siphoning streams

and rivers, lakes and fountains.

Manes fly with frost, tails charged with ice.


Peacock rides astride, fantail

splayed ruby, purple gold.

Beak up and open for the

chance to sing to the clouds.

Wind bellows, moon slides

and the stars avert their gaze.

Web of melancholy

catches those who think

to observe the finer-grained

seeming of now.


And then as the trapped

sees more and more

the pain of lived existence

the sharp searing cut

of reality in a

body with a

spirit seeking escape,

transcendence - up or down -

anywhere but here


But the struggle simply

enmeshes body and

heart more stickily

a securely


Could this be the gift

rather than the curse?

Brief enchanting summer

chirps sunlight

from the heavens

as if to make up for

the long shadowed silence

of winter

DEATH BY AGREEMENT

some seem to have agreed a pact for passage.
tidings hard to fathom.

STRANGE WATERS

experimental forms and thoughts that seem to come from elsewhere

AS IT IS

here now: this is what we find, this is what we see, this is what finds us

TRACERY

second and third associations. words and shapes.

Where fairies dream (1024x683)_edited.jpg
Through Light Cover Image_edited.jpg

ANGRY RED SUN, PALE SHADOWED NIGHT

a second stab at a book-style tranche of writings. formed in the end not entirely how it was intended.

THROUGH LIGHT

first steps. written mostly past midnight through dawn. night muse visitations.

WHO AM I?

Strandloper, edge-dweller, being. Sometime poet.

This site began as insomnia. Soon there were enough words for a book (Through Light). A little later, another collection was almost a book (Angry Red Sun, Pale Shadowed Night). Then came snatches of someone's thoughts from somewhere (As It Is). Dark tidings have also been received (Death by Agreement).
Along the way there are words on a plane (Tracery).
