Savage Revolution

IMG_5784 (1).jpeg


a threatening calm
lies in Tornado Alley

the vortex
now turns
silently

So heavy
with anxiety
it's invisible


IMG_5669.jpeg

the pin drop
periodically interrupted
with pre-approved blasts
self-serving mendacity
chaotic calumny


IMG_5787.jpeg

the cries of the masses
swallowed by the gusts

cracked and decayed

by speeding
barrier breaking


IMG_5639.jpeg


look, mom
brags the alpha
no gravity


IMG_5784.jpeg

laws
spacetime
for the weighted-down
the multitudes

the starving

those bound up
by string spinning

IMG_5667.jpeg


but beware
space baron


IMG_5790.jpeg


splinter threads are sharp enough
to snag the slickest
hubris and yarn


IMG_5674.jpeg

the wheeling in
the round up

irreversible

it's a savage revolution


IMG_5788.jpeg


Now for something a little more positive.


Spider



upon silken strands
not one can master
can fail to get lost
become entangled

surrender the struggle
infinite intricacy
is not to be figured
is not to be controlled
cannot be eluded
escaped from

tread out onto the abyss
here lies endless fabric
it lies not in the illusion
of strings spun before

dried bones
desiccated shells

come undone
at its edges
this web is always fraying

tiptoeing upon gossamer ends
waving, weaving into nothing
stop grasping, let go
with your next foothold
creation is assured
