An Eye in Reverse
 
eyes realigned through one-eighty
rebears me into the negative imprint of all
that is known to fly-pocked Trompe l'oeil life
Where, vase-mounted,
time passes within a single frame.
 
Breathing in the new sky - 
a sky a deep soft colour alien to
his familiar pale relative.
 
Course as tobacco
rich as cold streams 
velvety as the mole
who struggles to fly
in the earthen sky:
in another word - 'silk zepelin'
 
Beetles flutter as birds do in their 'below'
Chirupping by black spines of legs.
 
Here long worms traverse the loam, solid sliding
rain drops, blind as the 'sky' swalowing their pasage 'down'.
 
A sky which only feels heat-up and cold-down
for dawn and dusk. And all that exists below
it's silent majesty swings softly in inconstant gases,
yearning with a hopeless stretch to reach off...
...and out to the cosmos
...before coming back to ground and home
in the long midnighted 'sky' where fluid passes unseen

the agenda of mud is to have
the best of you. and i want to
know where you start.  i can
not explain this need past the
mere saying of it, which tires
the wren's ear, i'm sure. 

i know you give the world
pretty flowers, and soft grass
for the children's feet...and that
is okay....but i want to know
what's in the mud....because
what's in the mud belongs to me.
i know it does. what is in the mud
is the voice of rain and the torment
of decay. and again, i can not say
how i know that it is mine. i only
know that i can not stop saying it.

fine fescue
 
granted it seems obvious
but, rarely do i notice
your magnificent vibrance
 
i trudge down the path
and you call me to your blades
while i unseeing chase trouble 'round my head
 
"there is more here to smell
than roses my dear"
you nearly scream
 
and yet, i trample you
ignoring your invitation
to lay peacefully in warm sun
