A carpet of crimson
Blankets the ground
Muffling the world
And all her sounds
The scent of the earth
Whispers her ending
And distant rebirth

Вот женщина, стоящая напротив. Все как у всех. не отличается от многих. Просто в глаза мои она так просто смотрит. А я у бездны просто на пороге. #poetry #verse #poems #images #AiArt Переиздание/Reissue

Only a glimmer of passion
remains in a look
a smile
Hints of past lives and joys
eludes

I am destined to chase my past
Caught up in empty nostalgia
based on dead dreams

Sapping all our strength
draining our minds of ideas and dreams
in the name of a progress
we’ll never see
Just another series of empty deals
a soulless pact
as they steal all we have
or will ever have

All the animals
crawled into caves and holes,
And no longer were our stories told
And retold.
The moon and stars
Made attempts to shine,
But a scythe of stone
cut them down,
and nailed them to
Lost Arrow Spire
Where the cosmic dust fell to form
A lonely funeral pyre.

Planted deep in the Shenandoah valley
Are the tombs of men
who built and destroyed this country.
A bolt of lightning struck there once,
Split the land in two,
And out from the flaming fissure
Angels with eagle wings flew...

#poetry #poems

This land belongs to the past
And every animal
that left its tracks.
We were once one of them,
Then we grew into something we shouldn’t’ have,
And we wiped it all clean,
With the latest
millionaire’s machine.

#poems #poetry

We came from the sea
Rose from hydrothermal vents,
Now we buy things
worth less than we spent,
To feel like we own a piece of the pie,
To feel like living
Is worth the price.

#poems #poetry

Every city
In this country
is drenched in history and in blood.
It’s how the maps were made,
It’s how the streets were paved.
It’s how the native’s homes
became their graves.
It’s how we know
and don’t know
certain names.

O que mais/what else are they seeing?
o que mais do they know?

they’re not saying
they’re not telling
they’re calling on the ghost tribes instead

ghosts of the Tupinambá, Tupinaquim, Amoré
lost upriver forever
lost in the burning world

A bird flashed by as if mistaken then it
starts. We do not think speed of life.
We do not think why hate Jezebel? We
think who’s that throwing trees against
the house? Jezebel was a Phoenician.
Phoenician thunderstorms are dry &
frightening...
