A voice travels
in a river
scattered, unshattered
at times
pitchers of flashbacks
picked up from the floor
to the clouds
An estuary's
geometric discords
suspending hands over
blank scores
Choirs recast from
exotic swimmers among
graded flavors
Eroding sand piles conducting
water in crisis
to a deeper embrace
humming unfamiliar notes
In a deafening discourse
a voice returns
or not returns
to an absorbing silence
persisting in vain.

Teacher
A teacher
or a door
to an unimagined world
of strange
and stranger
creatures
of a pink sky
or a blue floor
afloat, marshmallow boats
of choreographed molecules
or enslaved shoes
a brain, in mindless moves
a teacher
or a world
over the shoulder
a disappearing
one way door.

Journey to the West
They sentence him to death
the murderous
Time
From tail to brow
travelers wander
from water
to stranger water
passing through what was left of
drained veins on a
red skull
In the company of windy thoughts
they were lost
in themselves
the wanderers of the skull
Into the past
of a dream foreseen
where lives could never live
wanderers of the disappearing womb
arrive at the beginning
where they've never been
