The Future carries the wings
That move Past through
The doubting
Crater crack crater cracks
Tomorrow grills
Today in
Light and yet back it comes
Unearthing doubt again
Miraculously.
The road forks
Strands that
Forever but also
Are thin and can
Slip through hands.
Close the cracks.
We make what ifs and isn’ts
To feed our minds fresh memories
What can be made can be
Seen, what can be seen, is.
Still life cannot be stopped,
It was there before easel,
We can only sit in silence
And find peace in mimicry.
The Past bore us.
The Future holds
us – this very
second is that.
For now, we have
run out of Time.
Friends
Are the past
And present and the
Vastness of what could be.
Clusters
Round the spikes,
Good bacteria
To our wounds.
Soldiers
Standing by us, reinforcement
Stacked against life’s
Canons.
Pigs
Leading us through
Woods, sniffing out the
Truffles.
Windows
Softly bouncing
Back our full-length
Portraits.
The past and present
And the largest part
Of what we need.
Magic rolling tune
Song strung behind
Mine mind mule
Dashed out after
Dark and deeper
Thinking moulding
Round the days gone
By in a thick haze
Green enough to
Grow algae’s virulent spores
To touch the Future
Tinge its raw with
Green flecks where flesh
Taints on thoughts
That writhe alive
Between what is red
And fresh and clean.
