Time Before Time
Before time gravitas
of bios –
ballooning hive
of bees –
blue collared automatons
buzzing profanities
at the assembly line
of mitosis
production(re)production
construction(de)construction
isochronal regeneration
way of organic symmetry.
Watching you structure this
narrative of our protracted
Genesis
I get the feeling
Apocalypse will render us
ash-gray
Because before bios
nothing
Phoenix
on the wings
of time
The Last Historian Of These Long Elephant Days
This fascination with marbles,
smooth pebbles- anything
to tame the earth
because gravity is a six-foot
dungeon
No sense defying, the weight
can’t wait, so handful
in his pockets, he keeps himself ready
and the preening current,
(Ms. Woolf was watching a pebble
thud, thud, thudding at her feet
as she combed for the last time)
Tonight he will let the cat out,
then starve the fish in the aquarium,
he needs more
space for these
long elephant days
the river can wait
