You are a whirlwind inside my head
I try to capture your essence, your spirit
But you elude my slender grasp.
I ride the storm rejoicing,
...
In dreams I live my inner life
No mere neural pathways, these,
A world of the possible in one night,
No handholds there for me to seize.
...
I am yesterday,
A genetic map
The living proof
Of survival
...
At first were the balmy days,
sunshine was your smile,
we generated electrical storms.
...
Earth’s teardrops pearl my window,
Sky smothers rooftops, grey on grey;
The dull day draws sadness from the well of me, my core,
Where race memory is embedded in strands of DNA
...
We thought that the gods were giants,
Mighty beings with universe sized minds,
But today we learned the awful truth -
A particle so small it cannot be seen
...
Dandelion clocks
blowing in the summer winds
a seedling rush hour
...
Be my miracle and bring me to the light,
I have lived in melancholy far too long.
Be my anchor and save me from the drifting tides
...
