Sunlit ridges embrace the eager traveler
playful shadows dance and duck
down a bottomless ocean road
birds connect heaven with earth
flaming wings burn to ash
koi swim in fluorescent skies
I stand above, a wanderer in your eye

junk torrents of suffering
pollute dream pools
and reek of putrefaction

dead fingers dance
down trails of deviant memories

Life’s spectral scream
               ‘I am, but why????’
fills the firmament

frail needs
fragmented desires
mutilated faith
plastic fears

Television static from an infernal midnight

The shells of eternity

       Penetrating,
             Leaving, blind, bound and broken
                     the children of midday sun
