Patterns

Dual meaning and moments interchangable –
it’s all about which ride you’re about to jump on,
how to define the role you stake
in this signature moment in time
A veil of smoke dropping from leering eyes,
staring into the gray-orange plasma maze,
drifting around peering into windows of idealized existence
Every day bears the weight of an unraveling scene
It drains the weight and drags its way
into the darkness that colors your context,
that shapes the inside of your eyelids
that lives on larger than life
Passing through terminals in motion and in song –
pattern recognition of the unknown, unknowable
aspirations into total purity and context,
adjoining paths into some expanse of wonder or willingness
Pressing forward into the shedding of skin –
giving space for some unknowable truth,
its dimensions laid bare internal to eternal
through passage from the inside out
Repurposed Idealism
Seeking – fleeting light and beauty in small hours
Searching – small margins for the bleakest of consolations
Reaping – elightenment that was brought out forthright
Supplanting – only with a profundity of misgivings
Vacating – all sensing of making moments whole
Gripping – adrift some claustrophobic sense of belonging
Mourning – beyond the crest of well-scripted ideals
Burying – baggage of all hope and its remains
