570. humans

our desert

our vast wilderness

all we say

569. seekers

 be with god

be with all creatures

live in light

568. winter dog

a tight ball

he waits for covers

sighs his thanks

567 arms

back in ours

and we in his all

together

566 realisation 5/10/23

 1

dark spiders

Stole away my words

Left silence

This silence

Held no meaning nor

Hope just pain

Heart removed

All mechanical

Barely life

Unwinding 

Amidst the dying

Blind and mute

2

Waters edge

Dark land of shadows

And stillness

Here i walked

Careless of danger

Looking down

Then body

stumbled fell apart

An abyss

The dark land

A spiders web snare

Do or die

3

Bundle boat

Back upon waters

Under stars

Holding heart

In moonlight eyes wide

For lifes flow

Water wisps

The ribbons of sky

And green land

4

This rebirth 

is beyond the world

Beyond man

A lifes thread

Above and beyond

Undimmed light

565. storm

 a river

 falling to earth lost

in blindness

564 call

 comforters

light older than stars

beckons us.

563. escape

 in the boat

dark waters lapping

fixed on stars

boat finds hope

appearing from nowhere

a white sail

562. field

horse sky larks

straw bales clouds wind pulls

 all together

birds to sky

 upon mans footsteps

a wild wind

bale to bale

the dog runs laughing 

wonder field

field of sky

stubbled earth embraces

the lostness

561 thinking about george

 hopping boys, 

with mayhem brains flint, 

eyed magpies

under wing 

a piece of night still

as the tree

560. dog

 tail like sail, 

boundless eyes circle

windy park

559. Marooned

 waters edge,

 dark land walk here? stay?

 leave the boat?

brief shadows

No sounds nor light a

bare stillness

558 THIS AGE OF ENSLAVEMENT

land taken

animals taken

we taken 

557

 this life of

rain falling to earth 

too quickly

556 our time

 we follow

Light across our sky

To dream time 

555 hominids

 we wake with the day

and die with the day

together we stay

554 earliest world

 cant see life

Hidden in the sun

Just darkness

Earth holds us

endless dark depths hide

All our deaths

553

 Flowers rot

as we all must do

and they smell

552

 forgive them

for knowing they do?

its nothing

551

this world lies

about the hurt and

about you

550 takeaway

 everyone

is lunch for someone

life's a plate

549 cattle

 i lie down

nowhere in the field

awaiting

548 awareness

 i know too

much about knowing

too little

547 returning

 finding my feet after all these years

just where i had left them

travelling far from the body is to become lost

like a hungry ghost of the after life

July 13 AMMENDMENT

(not my feet,

wishful thinking feet

bodyless)

546 farewells

the goodnights keep returning

their shade grows around you

the sky is getting smaller the wind softer

once the sleep wells arrive

with their weighty nights

all your days will be complete

 

545 out of the hedge

big bird dropped

small bird rolling dead

to my feet

544 moments

 the sweet pain

of being here but

not staying

543 towering machines

 this darkness

is all of us now

in shadow

542 teresa

hare on road

woman in bed - none

of us stay

541 hominids

 we stolen

they removed our land

we lost us

540 Humans

 hollow days

without our kin trapped

by desire

539 malbec

 two bottles

A day one - a nap

Then two - sleep

538 still

 how much time

In the sky or earth

trees so still

537 end

you frighten

so control tightens

nature gone

536 The bad actors

 they fuck you

bleed in bleed out bleed

on your knees

535 sweet

 hiding homes

cowered and controlled

say alexa

534. remember

not me the many

not machines the hominids

time is the moonlight

533 bare

 fallen thoughts

Lay us bare just us

Earth and sky

532

 a star fell

Into my eyes fire

Birth and death

531 Ours

 our worn graveyard words

Our confusions laid to rest

our blankness staring

( graveyard words

  confusions laid to rest

  our blank stares )

530. waiting your return

 i make cakes

He stares at windows

you bring hearts

529.

 juras dance

With deer brings cheer as

Days here fade

528.

 a salt tide

high as,sky chasing

my collapse

527 kitchen dog

 keeps the house

Empty of his love

Wills us back

526 waiting

 the horse is

standing in the rain

still stoic

525 bump

 under house

Running with my bike

Then light roars
