The Archivist:
Rivet shudder
The wheeze and splutter
The well of earth
Drags us ever closer
The roar of rocket fire
The leaden heave of gravity
I feel a cry is silenced by
The look of hope in you
Halted sea of cusped ice
And canopy of forests might
And in stark contrast
A turmoil of desert sand
And amidst this tableau
The scattering of living bodies
Of a tribе drawn to violent ends
My presеnce is a portent
We settle on the divined line
A cleaved land, its people riven
I disembark my sanctuary
With you beside me, gemini
Construct:
Her people throng
Curious and brave
To greet this child
Of spent epochs
They approach with caution
Faces marked with
Chalk and charcoal
A painted grimace
Hides a kindness
Offered with extended hands
I hear the confluence of converging paths
It’s meaningful!
Fates assurance
Times epitaph
Serendipity
In voices heed
For I see her past
Laid out before me
Astronomical
In brass orrery
Kepler’s idioms
Trenches blind piety
Her fathers love
To see her live
Aboard my body
Enshrined in
To give of
His life for her
To burn up with the whole world
From green heart beckons
Harmonising with her chord
Below forests quake
For the coming of my child
The fires long quenched
Rudiments of song
Lift resonant
The reed vibrato of a choral throng
Laughter, prayer
And lov’ed joy
//Their gentle clasp with mine
And together we are lead
To warm envelop
Songs of hearty contentment//
All is forgiven, countless moments chronicled
All is forgiven, of lost fortunes and grave missteps
All is forgiven, as we traverse
All is forgiven, amongst your living memory
All is forgiven my archivist
