Hard, fractal carapace
Protects

Soft underbelly

And cold blood filtered
Through a loving
Mammalian heart

Small dwelling

Flower and ****
Vying for place

Any breath could be
The last-

A sigh of deep
Contentment

It was Big I killed the
Alter-Ego-

That depressed, repressed
Beaten Down little Boy.

Pushed him over a cliff

Goodbye

(Don't try this at home)

We are Twinned-
Sub-atomic nucleii

What a Quark

One at the centre of
Creation

One Photon-stretched-
Expanding at pace

Far Away
Twins

Leaping Dolphins

Swimming in
Space

My Dancing Girl-

Perhaps the Spring
In our Leap

Has stretched but
My Spirit Soars

With your head
Rested

Upon my shoulder

there are nights when my
knees write treaties on the floor —
of my surrender

Watch me pick pieces
Cardiac geometry
Repair rut you ripped

Stepped into the market,
With the simple intent to buy sweets.
But with my thoughts,
The entire marketplace unfolded before me.
Some were big, some were small,
Some were cheap, some were expensive.
Some had a mild sweetness,
While others were as sweet as honey.
My heart was captivated, my eyes filled with wonder,
Yet I returned empty-handed.
