"asway" poems
The mind rumbled
The spirit trembled
Creating beauty and passion
Causing chaos and disaster
The skin turned into ground
And covered what was around
The heart melted away
And filled seas and oceans asway/ of gray/ swaying astray
The eyes became mountains
And cried away as they could not see one another
Yet tears created river streams that met
and later joined the hearty seas
But blood grew angry
He formed as a mountain
Incomplete..... a volcano
And from it blood and smoke arose
From time to time
The mountains may cry
The seas may beat
And the ground may grumble
as the sky turns grey with ash
But as one they funtion
Intertwined into oblivion
Following a yellow ghost
Circled by grey illumination

Before the night comes cold and proper
When set against a fiery sky
The crooked limbs of a naked poplar
Have stirred a romance in my mind
And swaying with their kin and kind
My heavy heart asway in kind
Those wooden spines so hale and hearty
Like will-'o-wisps they'll soon depart me

I wish to know, where blizzards blow
And bring their snow without me
To know the night beyond the light
Of cities, dark and downy
Those solemn spaces, old and wild
With hoary fields asway
Where trees are darker than the sky
Where everlong I'd stay
I wish to tread, like ashes spread
Some buoyant body brought along
While diamonds glitter overhead
And I amidst their starry throng
