Conversation's Hold Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Fixed Games

Gravity playing
curiosity draws straws
each pulls the same length


Deeper Roots


Ancient distractions
oblivious translations
swallow all language



Watch Where You Step


Impressions record
a thousand years of footprints
through each temple's halls


Amerika!


Foundations teeter
half-eroded buildings fall
before time's demise


Argument's Slap


Synchronicity
difficulties drawn from dust
focused foolishness


Preview


Intermission's room
memory impressed of words
watching each other


Noisy Thinking


Thundering blasts
council enlightenment's rise
thoughts image the stars
