Like Icicles

A soul curls in its icy nest
Hanging indifferent
Wind and light carve a world in our senses
A world of indifference
Seeking escape in the arms of our captor
Begging indifference

In a womb
The seed is secure
The host is the prison, the poison, the cure
When oxygen abounds
Freedom is diffuse
Organs contracted, extracted for teamakers’ use
Complacency
A human disease
In the stale skulls of the petty, it festers and breeds
The ocean in our heads longs to be released
Corpse lies on the couch
Stench that fills the house
When brains die forgotten
Legacies fester in seeds long begotten

Wet Snow

What difference will exposure make?
Whose face floats in that languid lake?
Like ignorant monarchs, we sit atop spires
Tirelessly iterative polymorphous bricks
Forgetting the doom of our ancestral dowry
While still in our spines swim primordial fish
As stagnation has been felt, I come here now to contemplate
This reflection of myself and how the two are misaligned
Gleaning balance in the movement of the pines
Metastasis interrupts, a runaway reaction
To the overwhelming stimuli of the place our souls belong
It’s the heart that tries to grow itself a lung
We’re planetary effluvium, bound here as we effervesce
Unrestrained potential, a conscious chemical process
What if she told you it’s cold outside?
The smell that surrounds, dead frost on the ground
The birds in the bushes found a way to survive
As that breathless hound advances
As discharge we are creatures forlorn
In exile from the nurturing sea
Doomed by nature to return
Like blossoms of anger on youthful cheeks

Temples of Autumn

I go and pray at the temples of autumn
Cleansed by the weight of the trees
Air stained the colour of leaves
Voiceless like a Viking graveyard
This monolith breathes
