Here, have some things:
Seasons of SaplingsOut in the forest
stands a little tree.
Although small, it stands tall
against icy bullets of rain
through paralyzing frost
and the strong winds of change.
The rain and frost will return,
but so will the sunshine.Others come and go.
although some are gone
traces remain,
leaves wither into soil,
rich grounds
for the little tree to grow.Environments change.
Rocks weathered by rain
hills eroded
yet the little tree still stands,
thinking nothing of itself.
All it can see is how much
taller other trees are.
But I see differently.Like the rock and hills
it has weathered.
I look in dismay
at worn branches,
stripped of bark
and drying leaves,

written on the sky:we sat on the roof of your house, breathing in
stardust and the smell of each other,
hoping for crystalline wishes to
fly by. it was surreal, knowing that we'd only be seen
by the moon,
and our only guiding light would come from the
stars. bizarre or not,
i realised i can't keep breathing in asteroidal dusts thinking they're
cosmic dregs to
lap up. But it was all behind us now.
You've been trapped by the heat of the sun for too long.
Now, I'm going to show you the moon,
and the stars. And as I open my eyes,
the universe spins in tandem with our thoughts:
this is it, everything
we've dreamed of
is (im)possibly
here. The old song is over,

then the name of your favorite flower.then your name backwards,
the flower backwards.4.the more I write
the more wounded the water becomesuntil I am gesturing
meaninglessly in a trance,the ripples
painting themselvespurple on blue,
black on red,glass
on water.5.I scribble in blind
lazy arcsas if scraping my finger
into damp earth,reaching for a stone
or a buried coin,a stray root
or a botched seed.I dig into the water's

disciplei can't moderate, syntax electricalvalium high, bargain whiskey drunkwith the diode and the dow chewing out the fat,
i frost over, forlorn (and five times rejected);
spin inside my lungs for hoursand hourspretending to write a reader's digest,
a takeout menu
or half a hundred colors of commercial
bullshit(but)i am a broken line, still
untraceable meter lingering subconscious,imagery afloat in swaths of thicket
and faint, fleeting euphoriaand the dawn will take me
nowhere

i've vined deep
through abyss lamentations
and breached space stations.i've spit heresy
down nebulaic throats,
lathed poignancy
from ashed bark and fallacy.barbaric, i'm no salve.
insolvency and atrophy
prevailing, dark ptolemy
swallowing the epicycles path.choke back your impatience,
i've not earned
your perfect radiance;
i'm a virus in the matrix.

legs holding up a table
atop which a paper is part of a
palimpsest, rewrite the rules rewrite my
rights, and keep in mind that my mind keepsup with your bullshit and
dare to be tempted and
i’ll be your daring tempest
