rhythm and blues

dance of the moon,

pulse of the star.

Ma'at's sacred rhythm

distilled inside me.

birds dance in heaven

to plumb the earth.

my soul has wings

and lives in a sycamore.

sleeper soul,

bounded drift,

temptuous seas,

hetaera lighthouse.

death's allusion

buried in sand.

modern palliative dogma

unable to hear heresy.

sacred fire

is a feeling aflame.

seminary science

can't dissect emotion.

sometimes i get lost

on this lonely climb.

empty spectacle beckons

desire's undertow.

tumultous battle

rages inside me.

coiled vicissitude 

augurs evanescence.

translucent dreams

etching visual poetry.

morning star,

sustaining harmony.
