This story telling me is foReign,  
hidden on the stones of our fur-fathers cast to tell our fortune –  
only to have the shattered words thrown back

Exploratory emotions push through my skin, root hairs digging deep into the yet-to-be-known with the nourishment being probability of success.

Plant your seeds, log^men,  
plan your seeds

agapE, the devourer moves upwards – a twhirling star particles surrounding flays maw from spirit and i am   weightless  
bliss

gravity well performing ultimate justice as this form rotates around its new-found binary forming the system

ethereal vapors pulling all to oNe and a tumultuous joy embraces  
This wind I ride upon…it has a secret name that was whispered in my years ago, so softly the clay godsesses spoke this talisMan’s true sign to me  
the Æons have taken more than our perception, but also This Name That Shall Not Be Spoken

the naming has begun again  
only this star’s path shall mark the sign

and a sign will be wonder

Boiling, bubbling  
Silken strands burst forth from the calm and  
steady surface  
They reach out to embrace the minds that cannot  
free themselves in the mirror,  
sinking softly – softly now into the fertile soil  
Wordseeds, shells shocked after lifelike journeys  
into the whirled cord,  
death spasms bringing rolling wavewalls  
to challenge, to scorn  
Alight! fast vanish  
Illumination! to bring steps upward tumbledown  
Twixt and timber, rent asunder
