WD 191 “Tree Song”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Tree Song I’m dying to arrive In the place I’ve been promised An abstraction of the necessary needs of the flower Minus the sunlight, but rich with fresh water I can generate my own sugar like a Real survivor Just the way you left me RootsContinue reading “WD 191 “Tree Song””
WD 182 “Things Come to Pass”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Things Come to Pass I suppose I deserve some contraction Meddling with old metals, locks and lockets Smearing my liquid thoughts like paint across your dashboard Sunlight to sun-dip (But it rises again so quickly, and the dark barely has time) To win you over toContinue reading “WD 182 “Things Come to Pass””
WD 181 “Postmodern”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Postmodern Obtain the product of your waiting Fruit of the vine Kindling in the hands of nonbelievers Who could not foresee, for, if they foresaw, they would turned and be healed But history abhors a heel turn Even though it delights the audience So we rainedContinue reading “WD 181 “Postmodern””
WD 170 “Desert Hermit”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Desert Hermit I bit the tail of the beast of burden Prescribed a sedative to keep him from falling into agony And there was no road ahead that I could use to follow But a trail of scattered locust skins -John the Baptizer The astrologers allContinue reading “WD 170 “Desert Hermit””
WD 166 “Dead Butterfly”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Dead Butterfly I am a larva But the sun cannot reach me In my cave.

WD 162 “Wait for Me”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Wait for Me Consider my slow approach The pads in my paws keep me silent Even in the realm of thought, but you Considered me a noise, an abstract trial to be redeemed from Transcendental aftermath of a crazed god There was smoke, fire, then moreContinue reading “WD 162 “Wait for Me””
WD 161 “Wake”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Wake Betrayed in secrecy Sanctioned by secretions of sleeping poison in my morning coffee I log in to the regular reincarnation cycle Birth, labor, waiting, rest, and sleep But the sleep is only mental The automaton continues to strive Severed from consideration While God in hisContinue reading “WD 161 “Wake””
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 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””
