ROLLBACK

Staring In to

the Reflecting Eye

a sense of distance


the pupilled interior

shuttling through

infinitesimal shades

of darkness


to form a coruscating

sheen—the sheer abundance

of stellar furnaces Inside

scintillating and piping

out their multicolored

melodies we receive

with eyes that sing


to behold such an echoing

grandiloquent fugue

as this symphonic ballad

of the suicidal arias

adrift—for nothing fits

the feeding frenzy below

better than the dead


black reflection

of a shark's eye

peering at the core

of the cosmos


living ghost of a

once blown heart

when it blinks—




—that's just humanity

skipping a beat


to get to sleep while

the night lies wide

awake around us


crickets chirruping

susurrations of song


notes captured deep

within outer space

PETALVIEW

The stars— 
captured mayflies 
in crystalline suspension
 —echo their harmonies.

Each  unique instrument
across this spectrum
adds to the symphony
  of the multiverse.

Hearts explode 
within the macroplasm.
  
 Lungs expand and collapse here.

Shadows of  these events 
seen as  grotesque forms  
interplay against the interior
of these lit up circus tents.

  The filaments of rungs 
to which we've clung 
remain as present
as ever diminishing notes. 

  We who are shown clearly 
are now fleeting
  from the point of view 
of the stars.

FALL BLOSSOMS

More than laughter frees the man 

who dares to stop questioning— 

Listen—the stars are talking

late at night in our back yard
