Humanity might be the limit of a limitless universe/
experiencing itself, uniquely empowered to articulate every sensation experienced in white space//
Or not. Probably not.

Red Room Poetry Month Day 4

For humans create gods to explain the existence of humans / Then demigods to elevate humans and limit gods / When our gods fall, humans become limitless

The spare tyre cover of a Range Rover Sport fills the windscreen / I engage reverse gear, rear view mirrors, backup cameras, and sit / Transfixed by the tiny screen, bubble image, fish-eyed

My foot, a giant
amongst plankton, algae, minute crustacea
(that my fallible eyes
couldn’t possibly see)
pebbles, stones, treacherous,
jagged rocks
my foot, so adapted to land
like a finned creature
weightless
pulled by a thing as frivolous
as the moon

It’s Red Room Poetry Month. The 30in30 Challenge starts today.

Hands sink into suds and hot stainless steel / among forks and teaspoons, they are mere utensils / and yet they glow as if pulsing with some kind of magic

Don’t be afraid of leaving a mark/the crater of your footprint/may shelter yet/the smallest part of you/scurrying in circles/searching for the lost ant trail

What makes memory slack with age/is the skin that holds it/that which held a cutting edge/now saws and champs futilely/blitz the images that can survive it/sip them through a straw

Wild flight paints desire lines across the sky / where last night, blind, the billionaires’ rockets raved. / The rage, the curse, now blessed in the gentle drift of sunrise.

What's your divination? Is it palmistry, tea leaves, tarot? Or have you invented your own: bruiseomancy, streetlightmancy, footpathistry? Write a poem from the entrails. - Tyson Yunkaporta #30in30 writing prompt from Red Room Poetry

Another Prelude

'Is this your best handwriting?'
Asked Sister Bridgette Agnes.
Is it?
I'm not perfect.
But I think, I walk, I listen,
I ACT,
And I try
I try
I try-
to be
kind.

In that moment, there is something like pride, that isn’t pride, / love that isn’t love alone, surprise that is genuinely surprising, / There is no word for that feeling when they say, “you saved my life.”

She claws at my spleen, stretches her spine against my ribs / Her fiery breath flushes hot, prickles my skin / One day, she will snap her shackles and set us both free.

Watching tv, a war time drama, I thought you were asleep. / You said “I had a dress just like that.” Suddenly, there you were, / young and living in a world that I can never know, wearing that dress.

We travel in opposite directions, at different speeds, in disparate time zones / I have lost sight of you, our tracks now misaligned yet still I feel your presence / You are here, absent. I am without you, gone. You are within me, ungone.
