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)

It's just another

airport


Only another

departure


Simply another

metal wing


And no more

than flight


When did

the gut-wrenching joy of soaring,

the anxious tension of leaving,

and the barely-concealed anticipation of journey

leave us?


It's just another

blindness


Only another

hypnosis


Simply another

apathy


And mind flight is

no more

Slow is the old man come cane-walking by

as his memories parade softly behind

the penetrating gaze of certain, blue

eyes.


Slow is the dripping of the cast-brass tap

as its thread wears away under pressure

of time, water, and the caress of

hands.


Slow is the fading of blue from his shirt

as it wanes with the growth of moss on bricks

made into walls, for having and holding

her.

Sing a song of silence

of grief

and loss

and tears


Sing a song of violence

of cruel

secrets

and lies


Sing a song of chaos

of sham

justice

and pain


Who can sing songs

nowadays

when we have

lost our way?

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).
