Mountain lake
where purity spawns, and spills in streams
what was meant to be.
Flowing - growing dank, polluted,
fetid with the fecal greed of humanity -
into what has become.
Blue thoughts come,
when the rain pounds
down on my shoulders.
Squishy shoes
are not my idea
of a perfect promenade.
Still -the drops
feel kind of like solace.
They cry for every stolen moment
and soothe away the pain.
I lay back
eased into my chair
musing, pondering
where oh where are you?
well, the reality has hit
you are dead
it's not funny or cute
you have left the earth
I am alone
with a mouthful of tears
And in reaching,
the earth shot through,
sent its sentinels,
as wandering limbs,
to a sky once broken
on the cusp of burst.
and the thirst of angels
would soon be quenched
by the liquid communion
with a glistening sky
and limbs of golems
reaching high.
The slight shimmer of the surface
reflects a subtle solution.
The motion of the mirror
serves to soften the lines.
These delicate brushstrokes
render the world in watercolor.
Nature’s foundation’s blurring beauty
diffusing the light on our imperfections.
Hold your breath
you can't--you make
the waters ripple
and I wobble above.
Okay Wind, the dare
obviously isn't working
truth then: does sap
make my bark look fat?
I inhale and shudder--
the water lays still
My lips quiver on river's skin
your body dances under water's eddy
I whisper: does
thin ice make me look fat?
