topography poetry for the senseless

Here are a few poems that I wrote a few months ago.....
me, a table sized Atlas, a pen and a pinch of vitality
here ya go...

The sighing of Atlas

the First sigh


The Pyrenees

Of the moment

Momentarily,

Sliding into the sahara

…there’s independence

Once, within the borders.

Independently,

Traversing the heart-land….

A pristine Himalayan stream

Floods the plains..

Plain and ordinarily

cycles



the unexpected sigh

Appalachian exhaust

Crumbling in longevity

Erosive impulses

Alive in proximity

A robin returns

To these low low lands

A cross section of our heart-land

Leveled into a weathered,

Aged,

Jagged,

Flat,

Rock-solid

Stubborn thickness.



The final sigh

The continent of my divine

Can witness to the purity

Of our soils…

Witnesses to the gospel of the

Grain,

the succulent sweetness of the fruit needs no

pulpit to testify…
