One-time policy

Took me off the heels of summer
Plunged me into the arctic lakes
Made a while in the company of whales
Grasping their goals tight

One-time policy

Graded in time by curving up
Trite in the trepidations of man
Flight in the wires and dire in its soles
Dry up the rivers in my eden

It's just a scratch

Pack up the tyres and grip my heart
Taken in the wings of an ethereal siren
Opulence in the labels and my sight
Greeting my memories

Gorge on life

And in the chasm of eternity I wonder
Seeing the slit of sky and pondering all essence
Shriek like ravens and pour trifles in
Gentle flowing of slopes on the rise–––––
