021: Alchemy

Black hole
fold back to waves
of noise monoxide synod,
restate and return,
Fibonacci reversed,
to the rocking hand,
to a gentle hell.
In a struck pose, basalt doze,
breadcrumbs on frozen lava steps,
all the way to the mantle of the sun,
where the thread dies, the monolith melts.
Incandescent words,
cables dissolve
and to vapor ships' song we dance.
How do you feel about this stray note,
the shattered basalt lock,
orogeny of our souls
in the harmony of chaos.
Dislodged, defunct
architects of shrines,
photonic sequence stems
from their quiet graves;
my libel 'gainst the soil
drawn on silver lids, dispatched by aching meat,
across cold voids unseen,
whence no lungs drink.
Beyond ramparts of ash,
to the translucent bustuary
in his nuclear heart.

018: Naunet

She marches at high noon,
golden cross on strong back;
a leaden tick-tock clamours her presence
to all living witnesses.

Strength of the sea, shining bronze waves
ride to the night and other lonely places,
through branches or through roots,
but it's no coincidence.

Below the velvet, tense fibers;
strings collude to bridges
and my wishes bloom in the sultry moor,
under the warm, dark cloak.
