A Razzle-Dazzle Dawn

Today we learned what matters

is when shadow shatters

into light, assumes the plenitude

of forms which warms us to recall

the strangenesses of being

here at all. It isn’t only that we’re

more than we had bargained for:

we’re infinitely less as well.

There is no end to nothingness

and night  – no end to the eternity

of swelling brightness.darkness

must insist irascibly upon. Mind’s

among a number of conditions

of a razzle-dazzle dawn.

Worn From Their Subversions

Fluid proto-thoughts produced

themselves today –

quantities of flow and sway

which offered mild exertions

towards assertion:

manifesting in a face

and then another face

and other faces which replaced

the sighs each had been

born from. Worn from

their subversions they decided

not to push more toward an end.

Felt it wiser to expire.

We left them there to wend

their ways back to the mire.

The Large Embracing Female

The large embracing

female encompasses

the male.

Sometimes

it feels like jail

for both --

until they pledge

their troth

to frank irresolution.

It’s not

exactly

a solution.
