Experiments of Syracuse

Lava being poured on ice and shrinking.  Another avenue to go toward alive unharmed or unhurt usually at night when nobody's looking. Did not want to be melted, fried.  An animal being played with, tricked. Painful to watch the video by the Syracuse scientists.  The icy platform became watery.  It became wet.  Looked for an escape and shaped itself, protecting what it was and what it wasn't, masking any sort of understanding.

Planet Lava

Earth inside
creeping
to
outer reaches
strangely hot
planet material
unlike anything
on
the surface

Tell me
someday
plant
rows and rows
lavender
bees
eighty years old

Lavender Commotion

The store didn't carry the lavender scented
laundry soap she wanted and it was most
important to have that soap magnolia will
do but it is not the same as the lavender
mmm oohhh lavender it is so great have
you smell it wonderful lavender

Long Wait Short Moment

Creeping steadily over landscapes

out of the way places

over the used up 

discarded

the road loops around

impossible on the other side

they've got it blocked off now

to spectators 

only scientists allowed

with their measuring tools

Something In the Grasses

Burning along folding unfolding
the heat a new birthday balloon
what fades here what is in the tube
sleep wastes time I never had
they released the blackfish out
into open waters finally ending
I did not mean for a rescue
thought only of the glinting
that this all means something
instead of papers folded away

Molten Rock

Different path down to the sea
could take deflation inflation
fingers reaching she has decided
wait for evacuation orders possible
to conclude using emotions using reason
then you will know instead of waiting

Focus

That color of red
had never been seen before
her dress fluttering
drenching rain no wind
how could that be
from here to that over there
you could see his arms
chicken skin she wore a white
wrapping around her hair
where the two roads meet
gravel over where the temple
old bones dozed covered up
mad about that checking it out
