The Realm of The Less (A Cento)
sea-mews sea-mews
a dusk pulse shade without colour traversing skies shape without form
a dusk pulse traversing skies shape without form
murmurs ascent land laid
shade without colour murmurs ascent land laid grown sheer
pale grown sheer
shape without form murmurs ascent pale sea-mews eyes meet eyes meet
a dusk pulse a creature made a creature made
forever less

Memoria
Sorrow standing dark /
In rooted rhythm's measure /
Circle, sound, and eye, remark /
A votive veil descending /
To stipple the opened earth
Before A Truth
before a cloud became a stream
before a river became a sea
before a wave became a sound
before a song became unsung
before a voice became unheard
before a stone became a mark
before a truth became untold
In Deserted Time
We depart lost lands with dubious promise /
following primitive instincts, mythic rite
a plaintive presage of deception,
of turbulent episode, seen in series /
those heralds heard, in so far denied
give urgency upon a signal, to cease
repeated verses of echoed duress /
dwelling in deserted time.
This Dark Water
Shadows arrive /
Splendour cedes /
To a fire above /
Upon this dark water /
Shadows remain /
