What do I feel?
What do I see?
Deep in my heart,
All around me.
Why can I not
Know liberty?
I cannot escape,
I cannot flee
The anger I feel,
Consuming me,
All that I feel,
Making me bleed.
I cannot turn
Away from the storm.
I only know
What ways I am torn.
The anger inside,
Consuming me,
All that I feel,
All that I see.
Why can't I feel?
Why can I see
Escape from the rage
That keeps numbing me?

Justification of Stasis
Who can tear themselves away
From nature's bright majesties?
The pharaohs still rest in their
Pyramid tombs, and your face
Is fairer than all of theirs
Together. How may I leave?
We speak of fortitude and
China's Great wall together,
But does your grace not longer
Endure than any stone or
Brick man may lay? I think thus:
Your greatness, so great, is to
Be assumed to endure for
All time. Wonder: the wall stands.
Men and women, boys and girls
Flock to Niagara, as if
The falling water were as
Splendid as your beauty.
How then may I ever
Be able to leave your side?
Ages they stood
In their riverside village,
Frolicking and playing
With the beasts around them,
Touching the water on occasion,
Using it more often.
A great world they built
For themselves,
Their children,
And all the world around them.
They knew
But didn't truly
Of the Comers.
The Comers were
Called many a thing:
Season Men,
Bedmakers,
Cleaners,
Takers,
The eldest preferred
Of the names to call
Their nemesis
Deathbringers.
One fair noon,
The Comers came
One on a beast of steel,
The other on a lesser beast,
Of the forms of the villagers,
But not quite of their forms.
The villagers warned
Their friends,
Their lov
You enter my domain,
Entered my being itself,
And now complain
Of my presence.
I will invade
Even the places I do not desire.
Your pockets of dry security
Will be mine,
As will your vital passages.
I will drive you away,
Far away,
Until you decide
To do battle once more.
Just know what you've done:
You've declared war.

Discourse After a Storm
How many jagged things
Rise above the vertical
Ground?
Beast and bird
Seem immune
To gravity's new
Course.
I have weathered a distaster of the
Seas
And yet those
Brilliant birds
Dare to sing to
Me.
I note a sharp contrast
Between feelings expected and fulfilled.
The wreckage is before me,
The life of trees
And the strength of stone
Lay fitifully before my eyes,
And yet,
I feel no remorse;
Birds sing
And fly, not about to die,
And life must continue on
Even for those
Without wings.
Drops still fall
Into her rocky ocean,
As our best friend drowns,
And men and angels are scattered away.
The turtle remains, slowly
Ignoring the disaster,
As the frog sees
An angel,
Now glad he cannot fly.
