Spring Séance

Days of Spring pass

as the virus slowly dies

nowhere to go

the sun burns small blades of living grass,

kills them before they rise

 

a man feels the weaving and shaking

transformations

where he should rise,

he sits calmly in the backyard

dog at his feet

stares at the distant palm and eucalyptus

over the corral

feels his essence begin to pull westward toward them

the dog looks at him, sad,

but he sits there,

beneath the calls of wondrous, strange birds, 

gets close to a sense of peace

with nowhere to go.

 

Remembering Past Insomnias

Vicious painful ice fills his right ear, a frozen spike,

so he rolls over, only to hear a buzzing of close by,

blood lusting, winged insects

he remembers

the feeling of being trapped on a 1988 sweat soaked aging mattress,

worry, a darkened insecurity that filled him,

works on him now

his eyes crank open, unwilling to return to closed position

3:24 AM

his scalp begins to itch in several places, invisible parasites,

he repeats checking, to no avail

it is this negative fear

that blankets over him

connects to everything; from nearby asteroids

to political criminals with multitudes of powerful followers,

heat, drought, gnats and hostile commentary

his weary head pounds,

covers both ears, listens to the internal sound

of air going in and out

as long as it can.

 

Love, Peace and Knowledge
