1.
Ten Peaks turquoise, translucent illuminated ripples in the wind glide across the surface surrounded on all sides by peaks reaching towards the sky covered in white reflecting the blindness of the stars ice deep within crevices slowly melting with seasons expanding, contracting but always withering in time behind a thin veil of clouds and smoke the burning aura of the sun continues to thaw
2.
Deep Glow it pulls to the edge of the world as we race to the edge of the land our feet sink into white sands as the sun sinks into the sea rippling emerald waters stretched out before us converging with the sky in the curve of the horizon glowing orange in the distance growing darker every minute and here rotation slows existing in the deep glow we let it linger, we let it burn further in our flesh, further in our minds leaving its mark, scarring inside its radiance engulfed by the tide saturating all our senses the light turning us blind we are consumed by infinite space our atoms ablaze in flames of the sun
3.
Laccolith the earth around it eroding as thousands of years wash away revealing columns of rock once buried deep in the dirt but now it looms above us sacred in the sun its power can’t be denied it’s in our veins. it’s in our eyes its strength endures as we lose our way engulfed by its shadow as daylight fades in its silhouette we are filled with wonder with the essence of what it is to be alive an undying symmetry born of stone while our bodies leave behind only bones
4.
White River a wall of ice glistening its round contours curve shimmering in the sun between fields of soft white it guides the water rushing and roaring over rock the torrent bursting until the edge where there’s no choice but to fall from below comes vapor a cloud of liquid dust rising up to meet us from the canyon of frost beneath it coats our fabric and flesh penetrating to bone
5.
Garden (or Forest Hallucination) Back to this cavernous dwelling A dim red light, intoxicating A journey for much needed change An eerie silence, a fork in the road Screams in the night, escape Go back to your kingdom of shadows Barefoot in the dark, lost in the forest An endless maze In moonlit shades of green Weary and trembling I collapse in the garden
6.
Sewer (or Shitgazer) The stench of spoiled cities fills the air Monuments of failure, now ruined everywhere A faded memory, my only hope Now rotting in pestilence We wait for death to come The sewer, a dark and desperate place The final refuge of the human race All knowledge erased and replaced with dirt Mankind set free to waste and destroy the earth Foul odor by now the norm Try to survive the world of coliform Bitter and resigned, the end of time Defiled planet, turned water into slime The stories of old disputed myths How could rivers and streams have turned to piss All of our guardians long since deceased Generations with nothing, all life is a disease
7.
Infinite Shadow (or A Thirst Unquenched) Mining the shadows of the moon Testing the limits of man's design Desperate to acquire that most precious resource Only off-world is the last vestige unsoiled Stuttering machines pierce the barren rock Extracting elixir from the depths The shadows yield their frozen primordial cache The transient force that flows through us all The purity of our essence Worth more than oil, more than gold, more than bombs The source of life itself A silent veil of plasma rains unannounced from above The angry eye churns forth a wave of death like no weapon ever seen The vengeful star blots out the fragile forms In one lonely gasp, the blood no longer flows The machine grinds to a halt The fountain of salvation dries into dust
8.
A Grim Homecoming (or Mocked by Fallow Fields) Damn near ages Since I have known the comfort of my own land and my own home Journeys abroad Of both mind and body Have come to make a weary man Mockery! I am scorned by fallow fields Suicide! May my blood quench the barren earth The bitter truth of safety-torn-away Ashes in my mouth My mother, my father, my lover, my brothers My companions laid to rest Consolation Supplication Devastation Indignation
