The man
In a routine
Cuts the land in half with
His whole life and sees sky from a
Canyon
The Commuter

The Time Keeper // Hourglass
Across
The green island
They trekked to ask the girl
Who clobbered her iron barrels
The time
Hourglass // The Timekeeper
Wearing
His black blindfold
The monk raises a hand
Just before the last grain of sand
Lands
the core of the earth
churns like the DNA at
the heart of my claim
i feel too awake
a whiff of human pollen
your eyes look different

The earth likes the sun
but she may be a little
biased. And by “likes” –
ow! (Bio)
life paces
like a zombie horde outside
the schoolroom doors the more
rain pours down the hills
the quicker the river slithers
god, what’s that smell?
some fungus or lesser mold
takes hold, says “and me”
and life finds its wicked way
under the door
ow!
you had a mosquito
Snail shell
Spineless nomad
Unharshably mellow
No-no-no-no-no, don’t step there!
Mollusc
