Plastic regent With antennae inside To feel the world Around and what surrounds Seeing with an iris That opens and constricts Pupil dilates and closes And vision tightens Flying like a phantom A wraith hovering In its unnatural color A stark platinum mantle (Unalive but never dying With a tiny mind of its own) SummonedContinue reading “Monarch”

Big Sky Whales Two
Big Sky Whales Two They breach out From clouds Not disturbing the Delicate massive masses Of fluffy filaments Tethered together And weakly bonded But by air and gravity Defying a downward pull Instead suspended; A monochromatic ocean In a bright blue sky Where the whale rotors Turn and whirr Their exhaust sprays As the holeContinue reading “Big Sky Whales Two”

Chilled Chaos
Chilled Chaos Perfumes of petrichor And ozone Are rife. Lightning is Flying with Abandon. Cinder bolts crisp, Gold blood stone bolts Blitz gasoline.
