Divinely Opiate
nephilimic wings
sprout from a cybernetic
scapulae
she had no idea
what she was
just a thin line of ore
embedded in golden lanugo
hinted at the treasure
found within the cell
embryonic, eukaryotic
pinion promises
ribs, quills, and feathers
copper and iron wired
charged from interplay
cation and anion
faith and reason
dark matter and exotic energy
an unexpected android angel
cast from the vortex
gifted to soil and terra
caught up within
gossamer netting
an earthly heaven
a hologram projected
upon a softly focused
material matrix
soften your gaze
bestow a feathery touch
harsh reality blurs to beauty
a singularity dissolves
returns possibility
orphaned stray
struggle and suffer
there is no escaping
this being
still and relent
transcend and take flight
float upon spacetime waves
divinely opiate
*Published in Domesticate the Heavens and available from Amazon in paperback and #kindle.
Fallen Angel, We Shared the Sky
For a night of many sleeps
with the earth as our pillow
we shared the sky
roots were deep
limbs strong
limbs supple
wings wide
sacred glade fertile
leaves from lips
taken by the wind
dried to dirt
given by the rain
to mud
sacred glade no more
you share only earth
for upon it
there is proof
of your tread
wings do not mark the sky
for a day of many sleeps
with the earth as our pillow
we shared the sky
*Published in Monsters, Avatars, and Angels; MAA is available from Amazon.
From Become Elemental
the red dress is a cracked bell jar
the vacuum seal on your psyche split
fraying ends and swaying swathes
crumble and become one with transient sands
there is no waiting
there is only decay
incidental transformation
will you free yourself of this vestment
abandon thread-bare hope and passions
or be ground down join the desert tides
there is a blue beauty to the melancholy
you have his memory your lunar emotions
you have the dunes of bitterness and longing
to shift between to erode and sand-blast
what is left of your youth
still and listen
a finer earth calls to you
above it all is an oasis
only those that have abandoned cloaks
heavy and empty illusions
can transcend to
shed the red dress
cross the coarse abyss
let the wind nourish your limbs
dissolve desires to energetic balm
dissipate hurts to myth
the red dress is a hair-shirt
his memory a millstone
free yourself from the heavy thorns
of time and regret
bare yourself become elemental
*Become Elemental is published in Monsters, Avatars, and Angels and available in paperback or #kindle
