carried away into the wild and doomed forever





  The eagle creek fire, 2017





Black moan of the dead ground
Golden moon of my trance

Tree smoke shadows
and the broken wings of chance

Mindless chattering
of the scattered text

Breath of the dead
in the red light of the new west

Flowers and oranges
Seagulls and clocks
The aged are all forgotten
and the wax seals are on the locks

Oh, this false rush of time
this sand made of one unbroken bone!

As quick as lightning
I am carried away into the wild
and doomed forever
