We are here as our bulbs

We are here as our bulbs
Dig deeper in the ground
Our stems getting smaller
Our blooms less upward bound

Then years of only leaves
Even water and feed
May not keep us safe from
Mistaken for a weed

Beauty not beholden

Beauty not beholden 
This unglazed pottery
Not to be rich with Hope
Star gazing poverty

With repeating black eyes
Cultural paupers war
Humanity declines
When higher heights are floor

Mixing colors out here

Mixing colors out here
On this stretch of plateau 
Deepening the pastels
By taking steps to grow

Feelings being sorted
Eyeing with better thumb
Sliding on the spectrums
Until level and plumb

No sense of direction

No sense of direction
Can I make it in time
Always wanting to help
Ignoring “never mind”

The urgency accept
The confidence I can
Scrambling and suffering 
Before shit hits the fan

A new order coming

A new order coming
Atlas throwing shot put
The World in a small palm
The twizzle on one foot

Work harder and harder
Billionaires are banking
The stock market rigging
The one percent thanking

In the moment after

In the moment after
Our voices disappear 
The sound dissipates when
An echo is not near

Love heavily threads us
The unconscious heartbeat 
The river of spent words
That cannot be repeat

In a brief Overwhelm

In a brief Overwhelm
The trees appearing white
As if snow had fallen
On limbs in higher height 

The clouds like shore waves then
An ocean of gold grains
Harvested on dark soil
Unfenced and open plains
