9187 Rip and Render
[by S. David]  [art by Beau Stanton]


     
Failure
Do it
Again he pictured
The pattern
So perfectly
In his mind
A perfect
Celebration
With mystical
Meanings and
Properties too
He had drawn
It so precisely
Meant it to be
An act of
Homage
And yet and yet
Something wrong
Something missing
Four times before
Weeks of labor
Each just
Lacking something
He ripped it up
Like the others
Said a brief
Prayer and
Incantation
Started over
Again
To render
The patterned
Portal for
Certain minds
To enter
To leave
Behind
This reality

8481 Clouds Breaking  [unt 32]
 [by S. David]  [art by Zaria Forman]
 
Storm passed
Clouds breaking
Watching the play
Of light escaping
To reflect from
The water
That’s why
You came down
To the shore
Nature seems
Larger here
Some secret
May be
Revealed
With the clouds
Parting
Something more
Of nature
Unveiled
But still
You don’t
Understand
But you do
Feel

9166 Labyrinth of Consciousness
[by S. David] [art by Beau Stanton]

Everything so neat
So patterned
You’re in a rut
A world of
Repetition
Comfortable
So you thought
So you think
Ease down
Meditate
Life
Circle game
But wait
Mind tricks
Mind games
Your thoughts
Turn about
Turn again
Again
The path
You follow
Turns again
Choices choices
Life becomes
A maze
A labyrinth
Look at it
As from above
So many turnings
Dead ends but
There is a boundary
And your thinking
Leads to dead ends
End dead
And you die
And you will
Molder all that is
Left is bone
