another day

Another day
another poem.

another day

batty

I don’t mind
the wheels turning
round and round
in my head,
it’s the endless squeaking
that really drives me
batty.

bricks upon bricks

Bricks upon bricks
a pattern so strange
I can’t fathom it
curves and corners
an unsupported structure
weaving its way
to the sky
and beyond that
a maze that floats.

bricks upon bricks

bondage

A soul
held in bondage
infinite strands
of featherweight string
wrapping the package tightly
leaving only
just enough of
a slender tendril
a sliver really
of a whim
which like a spark
might just escape
setting the whole of it
ablaze.

– matt at shadow of iris
bondage-

taking root

Weave the outline
and keep it simple
a biological soul
reaching beyond one point
into a quantum rush
that starts here
and ends there
a vision of your thoughts
made flesh
reaching all the way
across the continent
and here and there
taking root.

taking root
