Overlapping Theories

My eyes study my drawing,
Laying simply on the white paper in front of me,
Pouring over the intersecting lines,
Connecting corners,
And overlapping connections.
Each line is only a representative,
Suspecting to show so much more,
Supposedly being the guide 
Of the fourth dimension.
These simply inked lines could be the key,
A map of something beyond our realm,
Guiding us to what creates us.
It could prove that we are shadows,
Manipulated by the dimensions above us.
It could be time, aliens,
Maybe something too big for us to fathom.
The dimension could be anything;
It could prove a thought-up theory,
Or dismantle a careful idea.
My eyes study my drawing:
A model,
A tesseract,
Something that could be uncannily correct,
Or so tremendously wrong,
Both ways withholding
A river of theories and possibilities.

Like nobody is watching

Some people dance like nobody is watching
I write poems instead of screaming

Unearthly

Sometimes the moon shines,
when it's late into the night,
with the stars, a guide.

hallway

loud crowded space
tired lonely face
Other people and their shoulders
Hit your elbow on a corner

Getting quiet, less polluted,
Talking quiet 
slower movements

Sawyer Fell

In Later May…

the cows feed on the grass in their northern wild fields
and the farmer is off fighting a war that he doesn’t belong to
the thick tweeds have flourished in the pastures 
and spring calves become summer heifers and bulls

the farmers daughter gallops with buckets for milking 
because of her the fall harvest might be forgotten
“there is too much death and the heat is cooling
let them see the autumn leaves drop” she pleaded

the war ends at the sound of august’s horn
and farmer arrives home with a full medal heart and half an arm
his stomach is starving for a rare slice of patriotism 
so later that week he herds the cows to the mahogany table
before the equinox has a chance to bloom across the northern fields

Bridge

Bound by iron and stone 
running over sea and tree and canyon  
intricate lines forming diamonds, spiderweb shine 
defying  
gravity 
each arch at a time.
