PAD 2016 7

I have tuned out of this world because the frequency is off
the energies have become too fragile to power
anything worthwhile.  We are
vibrating because we don't know another way to move. We have no idea of the power
to rebuild
to correct
to try again.

National Poetry Month - Day 3

Walking the valley of metallic trees
iron trunks and copper-coated branches;

the air heavy with electrons, bouncing
the frenzied whirl of loose atoms.

They are quiet in their excursion picking
their way through the thickest part this night

both shoulder backpacks and weeks of burdens
heading without direction towards: escape.

Weaving moonlight in their footsteps,there are no maps in their strides
only purpose and a plan directed towards daybreak.
