1. as your frozen silhouette crashes like a comet   into this atmosphere of thin-blue self   false dawn’s fury explodes;   like a squadron of battered ships returning to port   bittersweet waves of tender remembrance   flood the harbor of my eyes   2. as I scurry like a stowaway   [...]
  1. hours like ancient turtles   swim languidly by   before we were anything   they roamed and roamed   2. time the ever hungry traveler   feasted on seconds even when the Earth was molten   yet eventually   from deep within the oceanic trenches   the lava flows slowed   life became [...]
  1.

    1. I am a thin sliver of doubt floating upon a sea of devastating tranquility.   Yet I dream with the velocity of exploding stars.   2. As planet Earth rotates at 1,000 miles per hour, my mind twirls with dream-time possibilities;   like a ball on a string we simultaneously zoom around [...]
