sunflowers follow
the sun; to whom will they turn
once their sun has gone?

They say we are a mistake
A blot in history
A disaster waiting to happen
They say we are cursed
That we will never work

twas someonce in an ancient days
when true temporal haze
i gazed seein the fall of humankindness,
i says, once-and-for-all, once-and-
for all time be encyclical
past's passed only in the presence
of a future samefold
be as was / same old / isas will be
foreshadows cast by history
fall upon the daze of destiny
fate is read not in lines not written
but in those allread-composed
pre-viciously
Norman Crane Sep 2021
a hag scrapes the stars
from the sides of night's cauldron
in which we have dried.
the lights go out—
but what spell have witches cast
that darkly we persist?

Pristine upturned mouth
charitable sanguineous lips
****** only when they sound as a heart murmur
filtering through dark canticle streams
to the bottom of a kalonoù pond
no more...

Inspired by Fawn's poem "Coastal Refrain," using the word kalonoù:

floating bubbles dripping pleasure,
inflated by self-adoration,

woodland / hissing stream,
it's cold / horses exhale steam,
you
slumber underdawn,
you stir—the sun—the rattle of spurs:
once upon the land was pure
once upon the land was pure
