RL friend posts his own poetry, art, and photography. Give him some credit for his practiced craft. Bit late in doing so myself, either way good stuff!

You stand there, the thick morning fog obscuring your vision.

The trees around you tall and overgrown, the sandy soil beneath your feet packed from years of use.

Steel and wood.

Eventually you hear it.

The unsteady warbling wail of that great beast.

Quiet at first, then louder, until it is upon you.

Its bright eye cutting through the haze.

It roars, lunging toward you at incredible speed.

But you know you are safe.

It's contained, confined to its thin piece of the land, as in some ways you are yours as well.

You turn and watch as it retreats.

Trundling off on its way.

The forlorn wail and the clattering that accompanies it drift off back into the ether.

Two beams of steel stretching out into the fog, the only mark that it was here.

You walk up and pick up two copper coins, now fused into one.

And walk back down to the little town you'll call home for the rest of your days.

The great iron beast has its path and you have yours.

The two intersecting only on mornings such as these.

Maybe one day you'll join it.

As a sojourner into whatever is beyond here.

Off in the direction of the setting sun.

Maybe tomorrow.

Or maybe you'll just put more coins upon the track.

Muse what you do to me

 Muse O’ what a bruise to me

 Construe a visage

   rendered past so cruel to thee

     What shadowed path brings you true to me

                     Symbols & Matches

                      Blood & Dry casks

Vistas crossed on weathered maps

               errant am I

         Vainly pursuing

      When in steady quiet

   the torrent carries

your voice to me

(From A Page)

 Jealousy

bitter for ignoramity

 Wrestle by Pandora’s side

against that self-same box

 Refuse the wrinkled thought

the pinched salt

 Scabbed knee

first fall

 But,what?

unanswered call

 Ford-way gone

o’er shoulder

 Reflection to none

weathered marker

 Causeway web spun

Let the wise men’s words ring,

 heart & mind be one

Soul ache for what aught to be

 fear not finality

Prayer by midnight

I'll dial in the symbols Inanna, I've come to pray Your lap, my head here to lay "You know your killing me this way?"

Ever weary to recite the trials Another day Another way Just as others, ever wishing to stay "You know I've demons mine own to slay?"

Violation imperative, void to plug away Plumb the folds, wed the fable O' blessed oracle nary you will block my way

"Then I've nothing more to say,

uninvited in doorway you'll remain,

till darkest darkness lays it's claim"
