Rumor has it that I’m actually four raccoons in a trench coat.
To study an artist
Is not only to know
Their style, growth, and
What inspires them
It is to recognize more
Deeply, a signature
Composed of that which
Drives them:
Fears, ambitions, and
Mistakes.

Profundity is sudden.
Suddenly born
Suddenly gone
A single breath
Determines much.
Sometimes you can
Sense a pivotal approach
And prepare to swallow its
Essence.
But mostly the minuscule
Event horizons
Rush into us and
Blindly,
We choke.

The last time you were young
It was a summer
The apple trees blossomed
And the honeysuckle too
You wandered out back
Watched the stars ignite
Danced in moonlight
Eyes shining bright

I became among stars.
Cradled by the vast chasm between us
Warmed from a near sun
The cottonwood seeds drifted with me
And when all turned into darkness
there were fireflies.

Time falls
pulls us
Down
Gravity holds
Us steady
We orbit
Closer
To earth’s
Dense
Core
Bit by
Bit we
Crumble
Into the dust
Of that
Deepest
Molten clay.

This jealousy consumes in excess.
The gravity of its appetite
Crushes
me.
I’m drowned by this swamp of envy!
A shade of green that was
never meant
For drink.

🔮 Come out of hibernation
Purge stale bonds
Step toward fresh inspiration 🔮

I do not release
my searing grief.
I clutch it to me
as the fire
clutches its coal.

If I’m to go on ahead
Do not follow me closely
If you miss me
I’ll haunt you gently
You may burn that
Which once belonged
But do not idly sweep
Away the ash
Let it settle slowly
A light burial, embrace
Still your breath and
For a fleeting moment
I linger in the dust.

Through tears
The world is wonderful again
But how much do I
Resent
The sight of it
Then.

The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

“Friends like these” by kara

#poetry #poem
They come at night
Crawling in the dark
Thru the shadows
Scavengers.
They hunt me
& consume me
Ravenous mouths
Take bloody bites.
Racing to burrow
Deeply, before dawn
Melts them away
I am overcome.
Aged & disabled
Chronically ill, traumatized
Shameful little worms!
To sense my weakness
& attack.

Behold, Springtime!

When coyotes, howling come
Claiming winter’s remains;
Redistributing misfortune.

When brown grasses cradle
Soft babes birthed in the dark;
Frozen innocence.

When dormant worms awake
Erupting from brittle flesh;
Insatiable spawn.

Behold!

I never wished to
Be
The sort of person
Who
Wished death on another but
You
Turned me by preying on my
Need
For nurturing.
Now
I know the only way to
Break
Away from your clawing
Grasp
Is to hurl myself into the
Abyss
And beg my wounds to
Grow
Wings for flight.

Our bridge has always burned
I didn’t ignite
This inferno
But I’ll breathe life
To its crackling lungs
When I catch you
Pouring gasoline.
