Pilgrims
I crossed the Arctic circle
and slipped; where no man's
conception had braced for decline.
Downward I fell hoping to
find ground but none appeared.
Was I entering space or leaving?
Nonetheless the freedom seemed senseless;
unburdened yet captive. I'd become brethren
to rarity as the warmth increased. Images of
Recurrence made playthings out of my wagering
organs. As I stripped clean my fear, the core perceived
my lack of origin. Humble myself to grand design.
The root of passage is always open for pilgrims.
Taunton State
Access the skeleton key. Become as the locked minutes
who corral themselves into the wheel of internal chance-
Unparalleled/without heritage.
Energy stored stages new heights
we forget amid gallows of unbelief.
We lie fallow in the hollows of jaundiced springs
scratching away memories of our saltgrassed youth.
Our confidences poisoned until the guilty residue
renews our motives.
