Oh, Stranger!

Lost, the air is still
without direction.

A shimmer of purple, silk
sails from sacred temple,
stretching its mythology
across soft and mossy hill.

(There is a secret below the snow.)

A boulder, she grows and grows and
smashes through buried skeletal stone.

A stone, she moans and moans and
blasts through mounds of shanty homes.

A home, she groans and groans and
tossing trails of found steel in the still air.

Kiss the Lotus Eater?
Drink the ivory from Lethe?

Contemplating Soma.



(I don't entirely know what I am doing with this. I have fallen captive to revision and it all just doesn't feel right.)
