You

Set me

Free.

The violence
Suppressed
Gone on wind
And sea.

Bowing,
The willow

Sizzle
Mike Adam Jan 2020
Some billions of
Years ago
Some star explodes.

Some particle flew
Through the hovel
Window

Burning breakfast.

Pesky super novae,
Irradiating universe.

Whence the calm
Stasis
Of solid state?

Lips born to rule

A softened cheek and
Gentle poise-

Who meets falls
At her feet

O lugubrious poet
Mike Adam Jan 2020
O lugubrious poet
Take me down
Beyond dog-headed
Beasties

Past styx falling
Twigs
Upon our heads-

Poet take me to
The tense past
Future
And tell me this
Mess I made
Will furnish-
Polished oak-
One more chance

To make amends-

To finally
Post mortem-to
Live again

Of existence

Nobody without spirit
(What - no
Volition?)

Molecules hum
With
Spherical dance

Stone so alive

Syncretic syncopation

Holistic fear and
Ec-stasis

Flowers of
Laceration

Turtle

Floating
Soft shell beauty

Oh my!

She crawls
Digs
Lays a million eggs

(My seed!)

Covered in sand
Still dug up-
Photoshopped

Some crawl
Eaten on beach

Reach surf-

Oh
If one
Little turtle word
Survives and roams
Oceans
Eternally-

Lucky
Lucky me

Watering
Mike Adam Jul 2020
A:
In the smallness
Of the garden
Thirsty flowers
Scorn my puny can
And call down rain

B:
In a distant galaxy
Some parallel man
Waters microbial blooms.

Bereft of cloud,
Darkness engulfs like
A tomb

Last
Mike Adam Jul 2020
The last time I loved
(So, so,
So long ago)

Fruit spilled itself
In the garden

And insects sang
And rejoiced
In the split flesh

And the soil leapt
With joy
And sprouted
Tiny seedlings.

The last time
I loved

Her womb welcomed
Seed and cried
In happiness
And fecund abundance.

But the last time was
So,so
So long ago

There are none
Mike Adam Jun 2020
There are none I seek
To reunite,

To meet again
Beyond the veil-

Do not oppose
sweet oblivion

From the strangeness
Of life,

From consciousness
Of panic

Nor of love
