i dreamed of something
perhaps softer
less accusatory
 
that is what i dreamed...
and now must i awaken
to this nightmarish orb?
 
please, to quote the doctor
"make it stop"
oh please...

Rocket Man

 
One eye, one storm
upshot blast, an inferno rose
skyward out the hemisphere
upward thrust a fired temper
... crescendo ruptures darkest light
toward some black hole in the clouds
where man survives in white of insulation
breaths in synthetic oxygen
 
Would time hold fast and still
... while apex gapes its own facade
a narrow path sliced through the universe
the astronaut hangs on his bridled fiery horse
his inner thoughts for himself alone.
 
 
~Meanders
 
 
 
 
 
Deep within the startled, fly-specked
Universe,
my Beloved beheld -
 
a pyramidial
Vision
of endless Mortality:
 
glowing, neon grains
stacked
each second
 
each minute
each
hourly passing
 
in the hot
kitchen
of its architecture.
 
*********
 
The burst of Infinite
Beauty
was fearful to behold.
 
 
~Susan
 
 
 
 
 
i in the Fire
 
 
Eye in the pond
a nickel dropped down the well
explosion of ripples
a tenderlick of flame
reverberates ignites
upon meeting itself
rises in definition
appeal to sublimity
original thought
eye in the fire
 
Dreams of dark fishes
and tin tinkle wishes
liquid expansion of air
candle lit holding there
Would there be one to climb
shoulders of self to find
an angel's warp see
beyond the eye, sky of me
dare to ascend the pyre
desire the eye in the fire
 
We gon' go down slow
We gon' slip beneath the skin
natural as sin
 
 
~Thomas (WORDWULF) Paul SternerHowe
