Incandescent

Smoldering from the depths of me,

Smoke rises.

Out my vented chest

Butterflies flutter--


Your iris painted

the color of my minds sea.

Labradorite cinereal.

My silvered lantern.


fissured branches,

glowing ember.


Effervescent beauty seeps through me.

Chromatic metamorphosis.


Like moonlight you cast a beam,

On all the places that must

be seen.


Sepia budded vines entangled,

Growing.

I'm already something new.

The Power of The Future Not Yet

There is a path from here to there paved in reels of undeveloped film.

You are the only one who will ever see it the way you experienced it.

You get to keep all the pictures.

You can choose which way to go

but you’ll never be for certain the future of not yet.


Life lives in mystery, love, and what’s not yet known.


The power of the future not yet.

Moon Clock

Moon Clock

In full vulnerability

Illuminating bright

Luminescence.

You see yourself glimmer

In the gaze of the Other.

Temporal rotation.

Within a shadow

We meet ourselves.

Where are we?

With myself how do I see myself?

In thought? On the page? In a recording?

In my reflections of my recent experiences.

I see myself in you. I see you in myself.

Part of each other’s present evolution.

You no longer are where you were.

One section of chapters becoming the palate to paint the next section.

Opening my evolution from the page I am on today.

Moon Clock

Time to illuminate the world to reveal who we are to ourselves.

Without the world who would we be?

How could we see who we are without all that exists beyond us?

We would be nothing without the world.
