SOJOURN SERIES
These are still in transformation. I am hoping to get feedback on how to make some of them better. Just wanted to let it be known that this may not be their final form, yet I wanted to post them with this edition of My Window.
ORIGINS
I open my eyes
light escapes into matter
too much to see
DREAMSEED
here or there
growing into each other
dreaming the dreamer
THE GIFT
an angel's arms
offering through the clouds
my path unfolding
ADAPTATION
thoughts pour from her hair
turning mist into stone
wishes fabricate
THREE MOONS
the face changes
unashamed she bares herself
telling the story
PARADIGMS
through glory clouds
she views the world afar
perspective evolves
SEEKER
beautifully twisted
nature remembers one
who seeks the truth
ASH AND DUST
discarding its flesh
bone turns into a mere mask
floating in trance
THE PRAYER
stardust whispers
space pollen sketches
an upturned face
DREAMKU
~
fumbling fingers search
garment tags allocate
a new world order
~
three cartoon dogs
in a helium balloon
coming down too fast
~
they gave the mother a shot
three months before birth
just born, he sits up
~
three ink blot doors
each one closer to me
a man passes behind
(This last one on the ink blots has an image to go with it that is still in progress)
THE BREAKDOWN
Dreamku Series
the house looks normal
stranded in the suburbs
three flat tires
three sides and a roof
the back open to the woods
a campfire within
a junkyard outside
the house is filled with spare parts
the man is tidy
I like him at first
quick witted conversation
but just with himself
not knowing I hear
he mumbles about cravings
human flesh smells good
over the fire
he swirls grease in a pan
eyeing my fat thighs
he's a mechanic
offers to fix my flats
invites me for lunch
he doesn't suspect
I can read him like a book
tricking my way out
my car still can't roll
but my fat legs can run
I don't stay for lunch
