Brendon Olsen Poems

Flowers sing in their beds
Serenading all the sleepy heads
Down the path a rustle heard Awakening the morning bird
Dew collects and sparkles on
...

Courting conducted through ritual concert
covertly crawlin about sacred loom Fate faithfully holds humble prophets while coffins fill for haste has yet to exhume
Entrust admiration toward the amorous spider
Forthwith dissonance imminently abounds
...

Thoughts thought thoughtfully
As I notice I wrote
Thoughtful thoughts I notice
Then spoke note after note
...

As I look out towards the horizon
I lose focus
My mind strays from the waves lapping upon the rocks
I don't know how long I stood there but it could have been forever It could have been never
...

Emptiness is all around
Emptiness is nowhere found
Bring forth light, bring forth sound
Willful seeker poses bleaker stance Trifle meager holding in his hands Perspective lost to consciousness Respective of a conduit
...

Drought which rots juvenile roots Drought which has to follow suit Drought which birth winged foe

Buzzing zagging and zigging they Swatting at tiny stinging prey
Their larvae fed by under toe
...

Through thickets trampled
A washing of the hands, purification
A quelling of the beak, satiation
Lofty is the patter
...
