when is who
and why is
now....
shadow dancer
when your haze
touches us, we spit
and throw herbs
over our shoulders
into the fire

oh ksa....
your twisting
house of cards
and intricate weaves
deserted you, didnt they?
could it have been
those strings you used
to trip all up?
maybe you left
too many holes
in the dreamworld's
mitt

invisible bear traps
and bizarre demeanor
you have become
your deliberate
deception.
that was for
the curiosity seekers,
coyote...

now who's wise?

traust…ignis fatuus

subsonic wave
peter's salt

one moment
affectional nurture
the next….
beggared

brindled cervidae
abandoned by rogue lead
distraught, bewildered
drifting aimless
till covalent bond
of limbic nature
encountered

Into me….see

the seasons wax….
till imperial pedicle
breached
a mensa et thoro

Cernunnos

gypsy band engaged
the ramble ensues
seasons wane….
and crystals nip
external branches

when chance met
wellspring reminisced
charity's faith wont
familial bond?

subsonic wave
peter's salt

traust…ignis fatuus

Shadow Warriors

Clang! Clang!
the Rudianos hurl
ooloos against rock and shield
Taranis sparks the shadow warriors….

Diord Fionn!

wandering from
Bealtaine to Samhain
across Cocidus' wild fields
ever watchful, hunger rabid
Agrona beckons….

weave the hair
and run the course
if overtaken, shame be yours
if weapons quiver, scorn is thine
if hair disturbed, ignominy
jump the bough high as chest
stoop a branch low as knees
de-thorn the paw at full pace
shadow warrior….

Caladcholg stretched
a rainbow's length
to chant the bard's canticle
Badbh's black crows ignite your blood
Whilst Fea loathes and Nemon spits

Morrigan be with you!

Huracan

the baguio swept in
with its mach
countered winds
and mesoscalish
equilibrium,
eyewall funnels
reaching for
setembro's sun

daaih fung....

terrene's gyration
drove coriolis' onus
pole bound
from cape's release
tears and calidity
leading tuulis
ever highward
till precip hurled

urdu….

the first to
encounter
the warm consequance
and with no life
to hold them
the dunes were
sacrificed
grain by grist

tufao….

the shore's
contrition
writhed in the
troposphere's convection
whilst seaboard sand
abducted and bartered
by dark clouded swell
dissolved…

the quondam is rare,
rebuilding despeired

Eternal

life's eternal transience
one must learn
this lesson's a hard one
to hang on to never
let nothing cling
for the cycle will begin
anon and anew
thousands upon tens
of echoes down corridors
lost in subliminal smaze
so what's one more
to scratch it's mark
on frattered cheval

Penumbra

slipping medially
the shaded arc
neither here nor when
civilized nor friend
aching difference
permits no roots to ground

Watch
Wache
bewaken

sharing ultra ambit acreage
with huldra, gawi and gnomes,
gross whispered tulpa
passing, undiscovered

watch but neer be seen
see but neer engage
join but neer enter

forsake nimbled catwalk
tween umbra and glow,
those long obscured driftings
through time's aurora,
all sentient assemblages
deflected, abstained

No alliance or taction sought
depth of ingress fleeting craved
penumbra's yearnings yield

Wasn't

seraphic limbs
float through
mirrored times
surveying life's
circumstances
and though
vibrations felt,
because of
the impermanence
of matter
never are those
polished glazes
to breech....
all that is left
to essence is
to mark shadows with
what may have been
but wasn't
