I built a house for unfound love,
Forever dreams
And chronic bliss

there will come a time
when the riverbed
is dry
and words
no longer flow
when desert winds blow
the dust of years
into eyes
that find it hard to see
clearly.
in a wasteland
of tears
rolling down a face
of lines.
etched by words
no longer
there.

I reside in Lake Maracaibo.

My body is a
warm and cold air collision.

I’m purple Catatumbo lightning
scarring mountains
channeling my rage

Poetry so electromagnetic
It would turn pages into flames
in an atmosphere of chaos
is where I rise

"Causes".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #ninthdecade

"We cannot compare a process with 'the passage of time' – there is no such thing – but only with another process" (Wittgenstein, "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" 6.3611)

1.
The surface gleams dully; I can
smell faint sharpness where the
fluids linger and the thin card
curls, is sticky still.
It's smooth and slightly cool;
it has to be held flat
against the page.

2.
It is a fragment. Of dimensions
two remain (a third sustains
the image, and the fourth is frozen).
Replacing memory – restoring, or
the bringing into being of
what would otherwise have no
existence – one particle of flow,
a harmony alone.

3.
The gleam of sun upon your skin
caught, shuttered, held and
now transformed; the salt of
silver blackened, scarred, and
later squeezed through prisms onto
thin and slightly sticky card.

4.
It serves to move me from
one frame into another.
There is rarely any reason
for the choice of moments —
there is rarely any
choice, in fact.
I steal your scattered
instants for my future use;
I search them out when
instants never seem enough.
