Caught within a Snow Globe 

April 21, 2021 by Dale Leave a Comment

glow in the dark lights

Caught within a snow globe from dusted dream I awoke liquid paint, an illuminated saint leech the Pleiades, cut the light to bleed Caught within a snow globe broken feathers fill the air Caught within a snow globe wielded hypothesizes, empty promises cracking open firmament’s marrow sunrise, an insectarium, butterflies Caught within a snow globe…

breaking bread

April 20, 2021 by Dale Leave a Comment

loaf of sourdough bread

Flour water salt and yeast, primordial ingredients Measured, mixed and folded, scaffolding erected from culture Civilization risen, building blocks for hearth and home. *          *          * Burning oven fires, consuming a searing steam sublimates Blister rattan ringed skin, forming flour into crust and crumb Broken bread, saturates the air, binding we offer and share. ∞…

the motorist

April 19, 2021 by Dale Leave a Comment

man on a road bike

I’m frequently awakened from tranquility like a lunar lander disturbing eons of silt by the sound of a murderous horn sticking the stillness like a slit throat erupts a desperate moan caught there the motorist is a man, made foul like everything possessed, just ours a moon, an animal, and empty road drive your soul…

stirring of the sky

April 18, 2021 by Dale Leave a Comment

multicoloured sunset

April 17, 2021 by Dale 2 Comments

partial lunar eclipse
