When mike the monk

Meets the hairy
Black hole-

Quantum

Leaping

Into new forms

Of life-

When the ashes
Have settled

On the
Residue

Of **** sapiens-

What will emerge

The Sloth

From deepest
Hibernation
Rise

Phantomic
Images-

A street of
Ceaseless hum

A poesy of
Fallen petals-

This is work
Beyond words

Where silence
Snows

And everlasting
Freedom

Roams,
Bandaged and
Balmed against
The light that
Blisters
And fails.

Even so,
Love seems real

Dream of cat and dog
Mike Adam Feb 2022
Cat sat
On ledge,
How clever.

Dog eyed,
Laying on floor.

How they regard
One,
The other,

With cautious,
Sharing,

Love.


Domestic,

Blissful,

Unaware,

Human­s dote,

Eat biscuits.

Leaf of tea

Cup rim contains

Flat tea-


Through window pane
Moon shaft

Reflects and

Dapples the ceiling
Matt and flat.


How shimmering light
From afar

Illumines the leaf
Plucked from

Mountain shrub
Far away

To refresh the

Flat wet
Emptiness

O to snatch

O to ****** a phrase
From the plethora!

To catch a likeness
Of truth,
Verbally hooked-

A tangle
Of sticky

Silk

Not yet dry enough

For weaving into

Beauty.
