#etching - Hello Poetry

They burst upwards All around this evening There and there and there Trees, Trees, Trees Smashing through soil To a darkening sky Limbs and fingers and hands Trunk and twig Coiling coronaries Pressed to the sky’s last Etchings Monoliths Earths loud art Not solemn Not peace filled This evening Trees , Trees, Trees Explode from the earth Like Kraken from the ocean Belittling Reminding us Trees Trees Trees Four hundred million years Before you breathed Trees Trees Trees

Trees, Trees, Trees

They burst upwards All around this evening There and there and there Trees, Trees, Trees Smashing through soil To a darkening sky Limbs and fingers and hands Trunk and twig Coiling coronaries Pressed to the sky’s last Etchings Monoliths Earths loud art Not solemn Not peace filled This evening Trees , Trees, Trees Explode from the earth Like Kraken from the ocean Belittling Reminding us Trees Trees Trees Four hundred million years Before you breathed Trees Trees Trees

~ Otto Dix Plate 22 ~ Each night I meet myself in nightmares I am my own enemy fighting in No-man’s land I am material and real, yet I barely exist in my imagination. There is nothing whole and complete nothing has retained its shape or structure everything is splintered into surfaces in my imagination. There can be only shreds and shards only textures, hard lines and spaces where white light can dance free in my imagination. Each night I crawl through ruined houses along dark passages that close me in dropping to bottomless depths of myself in my imagination There are only axons and dendrites in my mind electric sparking, all atoms in a crystal night a grasping hand, a gaping eye disconnected in my imagination. Each night I try to find myself in nightmares I am my own enemy fighting in No-man’s land I am dark energy and matter, yet I barely exist in my imagination. © M.L.Emmett
