1.

don't skin the face
of enormous ego

unless you're prepared
to imbibe from a sea of writhing monsters

2.

leaping from mountaintop to river bed

all true wanderers know how to slither

into the crisp blue of the horizon



(I am trapped in a haze of defiant flowers;

in a flurry of dissolution the bats of anxiety explode from my eyes

and I become the history of the world)


3.

a single moment = eternity



stretching a soul

across the 67 moons of Jupiter



I bear witness to

human creativity



4.

she unfolds before me

like reverse-engineered origami



at the cusp of comprehension

our two curves finally meet



in this mysterious geometry

we call life
