Through fields of mirrored glass
Into the forest looking back
Into fractional space
Glimpse disjointed memories
Slivers of light in the dark
Needle points
Leading in to the heart

Flowing Back
Travel inland, through fields
Over streams and hills
Deeper still, into the forest
Into the core of it
Unexplored lands
Find the river at the center
Marvel at its’ span
Eyes scan for distant banks
Sink or swim
Swept to the coast again
Out into the ocean
Judge, Jury, Executioner, Prosecutor and Defendant
I set myself aside
I take pride in my detachment
Compartmentalize
Turn my eyes within
Analyze
Demystify
Unbiased perspective
Harsh judge
Knows the outs and the ins
Every transgression
Verdict served
Recommending corrections
Interiors
Familiar scape
The plains of my reflection
Barren place
Devoid of affection
No intent
Elements in play
Weathering
Wearing me away
Deserts of the mind
Worlds within worlds
No sign of life inside
Thoughtful Steps
Eyes turned inward
Toward the shimmers in the dark
Captivate me for a while
Seeking out the heart
Impart from within
Some kind of understanding
A life alike a set of flights, falls and landings
Demand little, find enough
Gain momentum
Pick myself back up
Falling From New Heights
A precipice so tall
Heart stalls before the bottom
Repetitious falls don’t always leave you stronger
Somber tones of black and blue
A leap of faith with hope it takes me somewhere close to you
The truth is, I oft fall short
My body bruised and broken
I start to contort
Ribs clawing at the lungs
Folding in upon myself
The impact always comes
No matter how I brace
Gravity always seems to put me in my place
Zirconium Man
I’m a man that’s beautiful in the way of zirconium
Not nearly so charming when you look closer…
Intentions just as pure
Yet not what you expected
My imperfect allure is often rejected
Nothing cures the way of this stone
Flaws more apparent the more that you know
Like flowers of blue that poison the mind
I’m best left alone in the dirt with my kind
