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)

Ancient one,

shoots new

each season


Root to leaf-edge

a passage

steady axis

of the world.


Canopy sheltering

the panoply:

scurrying, chirping

hopping, whirring.


A menagerie

- intertwined and interlinked -

meets and mingles

in the twigs, branches, trunk.


Body to earth;

sky to earth;

mind to dreamworld.


Crepe-paper petals

stroke and shatter

the bluest of light.


Fleshy tow tendrils

root out from foot

digging and dredging.


Presence shaded and laced

drifts, dives and dangles

suspended in sight.


Foot to ground;

mind to sky-stream

petals the passage between.


__________________________


My poppy-feet are paperweight

and lighter than the flood

of pictures falling through

mind's silvery sieve.

Flowers sprout from my liver

soft growth flickers

against the sky.

Bile feeds

not-yellow but pearly petals

not black but jade stems.


Liver draws out cysts of

of loss and anger,

of envy and shock:

slowly, painstakingly remaking

softly, tentatively renewing

subtly, soundlessly recovering.


This flower springs from my liver:

leaves, bud, stem

unfolding into light.

Sun bathes

not-yellow but glowing

not black but growing.

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).
