At first, a tremor beneath the souls of my feet Blink, a story millions of heartbeats away Dark clouds over a field as acidic purge falls over us Venomous mist seeps, humanity weeps Blink, 18 stars bent and watching Emitting rays pointing their random strikes Blink, glorious earth temperate in her rotation Marble folds on her maternal veil drapes us Close to her breast, we heave in time with each breath Blink, sustaining life in the chambers of her deepest ocean Breathing air across the tall granite mountains Distressed, and yet still here Blink, ancient footprints track our journey Not what we envisioned but “the enlightened ones” foresaw. The need for understanding, The need to cause conflict and agitate, Blink, the need to protect, The need to heal and mend. Blink, you are here now, in your full extravagance Delighting in fracking and disruption Sleight of hand, our blindness is your reward Blink, remorseless as you divide us Along the fault line, we fall Blink, with loved ones snatched We turn on one another tossing Handfuls of poison into the wind Blink, triggered fingers pointed Volcanic anger flares A fist on a horses face Lawlessness a momentary lapse Blink, where will you strike next? We suppress you We support you Following the artificial sun through the cracks You rise again As we turn on one another The elusive phantom, a master chameleon Spawning and stretching into an unknown vastness Blink, yes, you are here to stay You can’t be killed You can’t be destroyed Blink, neither can we You will be tamed into submission You will be a mere quiver beneath the souls of my feet Blink, vitals diminish and you crawl away Powerless and a mere symptom as you look out from a rock Eye blinking.

Dear Covid 19 On The Blink
At first, a tremor beneath the souls of my feet Blink, a story millions of heartbeats away Dark clouds over a field as acidic purge falls over us Venomous mist seeps, humanity weeps Blink, 18 stars bent and watching Emitting rays pointing their random strikes Blink, glorious earth temperate in her rotation Marble folds on her maternal veil drapes us Close to her breast, we heave in time with each breath Blink, sustaining life in the chambers of her deepest ocean Breathing air across the tall granite mountains Distressed, and yet still here Blink, ancient footprints track our journey Not what we envisioned but “the enlightened ones” foresaw. The need for understanding, The need to cause conflict and agitate, Blink, the need to protect, The need to heal and mend. Blink, you are here now, in your full extravagance Delighting in fracking and disruption Sleight of hand, our blindness is your reward Blink, remorseless as you divide us Along the fault line, we fall Blink, with loved ones snatched We turn on one another tossing Handfuls of poison into the wind Blink, triggered fingers pointed Volcanic anger flares A fist on a horses face Lawlessness a momentary lapse Blink, where will you strike next? We suppress you We support you Following the artificial sun through the cracks You rise again As we turn on one another The elusive phantom, a master chameleon Spawning and stretching into an unknown vastness Blink, yes, you are here to stay You can’t be killed You can’t be destroyed Blink, neither can we You will be tamed into submission You will be a mere quiver beneath the souls of my feet Blink, vitals diminish and you crawl away Powerless and a mere symptom as you look out from a rock Eye blinking.
