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)

Mass slides through my mind

slipping over bannisters

jumbling venerable thoughts


A new presence settles in,

filling those voids un-thought and un-seen.

Updated: Dec 10, 2022

Magpies and trout

both caught

by the captivators


Bright shining baubles,

shimmering spectacles

sets some a-dizzying


A lure and a hint,

a glamorous morsel

a promise of prey


And the captivators apply liberally

the silver of the familiar

the shine of faint surprise

and the tease of titillation

He shrugs

silent against

the blizzard of

sunlight


The sand carpet

rolls away

to meet the mirage

of horizon


He looks quietly

as the caravan buzzes


The men and dogs

march about

like ants preparing

for winter


He stands

steadily

as the way opens

up ahead


The journey

has begun

now rushing, now slowing

towards him.

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).
