Dynamite

I’ve noticed an increase in exploding heads

It is

alarming but pleasant

like the scent of wild cherry wood

smoldering as the sky dims.

They are the walking end

soothing visions of relief

and loss

with

no eyes to see

no mouths to scream.

Just the fluffy, white bushels of smoke left behind

after a barrage of intensities

too powerful for men

to withstand.

Mother of Worlds

Our mother

was

split in two by the thunderous rattle

of new worlds coming forth.

They pushed through her

and emerged with bright expressions.

New minds flooded with milky dreams

of power

Now, she floats in a blissful sleep,

forever drained of

vigor

and strength

but delighted

by the sound of young chests, pulsing with new life

around her

in an orbit

of her own creation

Memory’s Stain

I have swallowed

The bitter suns of yesteryear

They bend and spin

eternally

so I can feel the gentle

ache of

pasts forgotten

and unseen
