Numbing smoke hits me
Serpent stunned
Fusilli smoke
Winding around a forked stick
Shivering divining rod
House of water
John Clare’s pencil broken
Shipwreck life’s esteems
Wax seals
Sealed ears
Bound captains
Driven mad by boundaries
Inescapable mazes
Stick to the left side wall
Left hand tracing it pathfinder
Unfurling a ball of red string
Flying a black flag
Kingly purple sinks into wine dark
Nameless sightless immortal Homer
Thy daughters studied hand plots the course of Ulysses
Time like a see saw
Time waves at nightshore
Godhead thoughtspore
Dogspawn doggone Dogon
Thoughtform a thought forms thorned crown worn
Shorn bald knight watches waves enfolding
His mane once long and proud cut short
On once proud name cuts
Shortcuts to the end, the end of it; cut short
See it and say you saw, like Time
Omnidirectional
Liminal pathways intersectional
Ritual of summoning
Blood libations poured in a bored stone
Howling ghosts appear in familiar masks
Ghostlights above the censers like wolf moons
Odd ambulations in Heaven
Movements, without pattern or precedent
As if chased by the unbound end time Wolf
An uneasy sun espied tasseled with strange fire
Tentacles unfurl, brighten then dissipate
Ten nights the sun strayed outside its lines
Queasy wobbling horizons
Binoculars capturing the sun
Blazing lemniscate
Six jars leave open for the Gods
But the seventh seal
Machinery of night
Midnight machinery
Loose plug universe blinking out
Candles hoarded for when the stars go out
The scholars of war tease out wisdoms from slaughters
Silver lining
Mars he comes in tempest
Too bright is Day
The stately tower of her neck
Divine fringe nears, nimbus
Love Herself imprisoned lies
Numb at touch, to touch
Myriad flowers created to blush unseen
Obscured life sets down a type of bliss
I am rusting here inside my armour
The spirit animating Talos
Tell us a tale of the mountain residents
Apollo and Artemis malign Hera’s creation canal on Delos
Delian dalliance, alien alliances
Beloved to Apollo an unread poem
