Archipelogos II

and the islands sloughed off

the mainland

in a continuum geocritical



break upon break

division upon division

of terrestrial meisosis



many in the many

no man is Robinson Crusoe Island

but I have lived on him



quakes that break

great lakes and landmasses

fed to…

Archipelogos

It was the cliff

broken with reason

that landed on seapaper

forming theoretical islands

bunched like coins in a purse



in the stitches

between reason

theoretical lifeforms arose

out of the clear rush

coming to shore like baby



incomparably, legs were four

trees ached

with theoretical yearning

for seed and windsong

long like a spun horse's braid



is the cold of the North different

to the cold of the South?

shares to sails brimming

masts…

Poem for "The Gamut" art project

The geometry of eking a living,
a harvesting, a seeing, the sense of air, 
a body clothed - whether the temperatures rules us 
in wide planes, and whether we can sleep
in an open sustenance of breeze



Protection to play the while as a mimick-bird
lyres and lazes in flight’s reach - a garden to scarcity,
love to the aimless, fire and plant to the broth



here, take this, this is love, and fire and plant…
