Fractious

handling

It seems the strangest things walk the underside of leaves,
Sneaking in the garden,
As invisible birds cry in the trees,
With the day’s first adventures of silent buzzing bees.

Today we’ve woke with scratches upon our face.
Self inflicted, conflicting we
Remember to assemble who and what we are
As the astringent stings
Upon the wounds of revelry.

From the depths of withdraw,
Drawing near,
Drawing tight,
The loose noose of redemptive damnation.

The mind is slippery
From nights too hot to sleep,
And fingers shaking into blur
Before the eyes of a dream.

Finders are the seekers of meme.

(remembering)
If the center cannot hold,
The spokes are the last to know.

(forgetting)
September waits for the harvest,
And the second Fall,
For the unearthly Glow,
And Noah’s flow.

Morning in the journey to maturity.
Over coffee,
Over a burned tongue,
The smoke from our hand curls,
Warm before the blinded storm.

“Fractious” comes to mind,
From the backlog of images
The brain didn’t have time to manifest before alarm.

A miasma of recall, realization, review
Pours forth from eye upon the world’s image.

Seers are the finders of reality.

Fractal, fracture, fraction, faction.
Breaking cycles of pieces repeated in action
With variation sufficient
For patterns of self,
Bootstrapping the spiral of conscious complexity.

The day proceeds with small changes,
Half smiles,
Hidden giggles and glee,
Lost looks and glances nameless.

While on the horizon
Over our shoulder,
The beckoning finger of a firestorm
Awaits the end.

It waits for us,
For the sacrifice,
For the terrible tryst of unmaking.

And at last,
Madness will know more of us,
Than ever did you or I.

One For The Birds

One word progression, July 12, 2007,
Valyna and Helskel in attendance.


crazyBird

New heat of the late year, canvassed in languid running arbitration.

Afternoon without decision, the waiting, lingering gazes permeate the cold oncoming storm.

She senses something heavily pressing against her core.

The darkened sky unleashes at last.

A bird of the angered desert rests briefly upon her worried doorway.

She offers uncertain sympathy without guessing which soul he has taken.

Lightning disrupts their awkward parley, the thunder tears feathers with his departure.

Peering across, she drew in long reflections that calmed the existence she created.

Alone she dreamed of knowing laughter from hollow memories.

Droplets begin to smear her tears.

Silence dwelled until smiling,

She turned and realized,

Sadness is nothing to take to the bank, or for the birds, or whatever.

Steorn Update

Steorn_patent_fig4-6_300pxw

Irish company, Steorn, has continued with the independent testing
of their world-shaking, laws-of-physics-shattering device...
and now they've brought it before the international press.

(Although, they say the studio lights were having an
adverse effect on 'Orbo'.)
