A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. This Was Home The first syllable rises from my tongue As I twist it in a knot Evoke There are frogs singing in the darkness behind my house and Today of all days, the day of my unmaking You came in to my castle, broke theContinue reading “WD 159 “This Was Home””

WD 158 “Runes Carved Into Ruins”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Runes Carved Into Ruins The zodiac craves attention A stumbling lion receives your prayers And I am humbled by the gravity that keeps spirits bound to earth We turned three corners to come up on A roundabout with no exit Lion, lamb, aries, aquarius, scorpio YouContinue reading “WD 158 “Runes Carved Into Ruins””
WD 157 “Aspects of the Infinite”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Aspects of the Infinite Harmoniously, we fall into a craze Peacefully we slip into, a crack in the ice, where the coldness and lack of light slow Reptilian heart rates And I loved you, and I became one with you But the eyes always thirsted forContinue reading “WD 157 “Aspects of the Infinite””
WD 156 “Oracles”
Prose from the journal of The Guardian Fog. Oracles Eighteen credits, full time. We went in the same direction, following the arrows on the pavement, to spiritual war, spiritual debt, Faustian bargains and places of divine leadership and some of us prayed for a prophet or a diviner, but after the sun went down weContinue reading “WD 156 “Oracles””
WD 155 “Frozen Flowers III”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Frozen Flowers III I tried everything to fix The tether that connected our worlds but These dreams of winter never began to thaw The sun hides from you, like anyone who has been Invited, engaged, forgotten Lost to your distance I can’t drive all that wayContinue reading “WD 155 “Frozen Flowers III””
WD 154 “Frozen Flowers II”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 153 “Frozen Flowers”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Frozen Flowers Cold comfort between friends Lemon Wedges in each drink I pantomime a story of distress, a secret set of bones buried in a cave But you can’t find it in yourself, or in the tundra around you I poke around, trying to stimulate theContinue reading “WD 153 “Frozen Flowers””
WD 152 “Mourning Dove”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Mourning Dove I waited The entire span of A serpent’s coils, for The fruit to become ripe The tantalizing allure of knowledge prodded me on like Jabs in my back A desire to understand and be unmade But I passed the fruit on to you AndContinue reading “WD 152 “Mourning Dove””
WD 151 “Marriage”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Marriage I came to share my tears with the stars Radiance, light on the backs of the darkening night Words to sail by Worlds to deliver in a single promise “Forever” It’s a gift we haven’t been given, but a territory we boldly claim Like invaders,Continue reading “WD 151 “Marriage””
WD 149 “Beyond Good and Evil II”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Beyond Good and Evil II It grieves me to say it To think it To hitch my wagon to a space in their field of vision The watchers mutter their quiet curses As they consider us with chain-linked brains Porus, a sieve allowing the quality ofContinue reading “WD 149 “Beyond Good and Evil II””
