Expansive Nothingness

Seasons pass Memories shift and I change in your heart You drift through mine Always becoming something unknown. We separate and we fade From brilliant stars into ghostly winter haze and back again But in the stillness even now I hold your hand Through every layer of this illusion. And I dance with you Ablaze in a moment That cannot be created, cannot be destroyed Fingers intwined and never leaving your side Never leaving your side In the night under the cool reflection of the sun Twirling and spinning on a plane That moves beyond time Beyond your body Beyond my form Whirling Deep into our eyes and out through the expansiv

Literature

Extinguishing

A myriad of lifelong dreams fall heavy through my fingertips Reaching toward the deep of the earth below. They call for a nirvana of the most personal kind, Needing a moment of destructive healing, Needing to continue the universal rhythm. Bailamos con la Muerte. Dance with death.. And by so doing… Dance with life. A myriad of ragged desires fall heavy through my fingertips, Reaching for the soulful ocean surge somewhere beyond The horizon of my visibility…. The horizon of my fear. They call for a moment of namelessness, A moment of formelessness, A chance to resurge into energies more rich. My soul is pregnant With colors th

La Loba by miquluva-coia, literature

Literature

La Loba

On any given night, if the dry Pueblo winds are in your favor, you may be lucky enough to stumble upon La Loba, the Wolf Woman. She is found deep in the desert, in a place between consciousness and all the depths below. She is as old as the earth. Wise and wild. Beautiful in her ugliness. The old crone works quietly joyous in her cackling, quirky, earth bellied knowledge. She is the thick, whiskered and weathered protector of that which is in danger of being lost to the world. With her skilled and gnarled hands she digs up the bones of desert animals, but most notably that of the wolf's, and reassembles its body bone by bone, polishing eac

Daily Bread by miquluva-coia, literature

Literature

Daily Bread

She waits desperately for the sky to reach the earth For the continents to congeal into a form she can understand. She holds her breath for a rhyme within This chaotic rhythm of time and space, For the reasons behind every involuntary breath, The gasps that echo across the oceans. Under the darkened atmosphere Lay a thousand answers, And questions within answers That cannot be satisfied, cannot be swallowed; She chokes on their visage. Our daily bread rots in abundant store, Far from the sea of hungry hands that turn the earth on its axis The countless lives who wither so that the few can flourish, Life for life. Loss for gain.

Literature

Wood - Ghazal form

I am the dark of a wooden railroad tie Seeping streams of tar from my deepest pores. The wind caught me when you uttered those words I disintegrated like an autumn leaf in winter. Each day I have painted with charcoal in your absence I remember you whispered of oil and turpentine Do you remember rediscovering breath? Every secret passed between fingers and palms making love to the world Precious metals intertwined and settled in our touch Have you kept the silver wrapped around your wrist? You extinguished like long worn kindling each time you turned from me Did you never learn the wood is dry within my soul? Spring comes and I re

Civilization Smivilization

-:written January 2000:- They talk in history books Like the beginning of civilization Is the beginning of life Like you need organized commerce to be complete And city churches And corrupt leaders And technology…. To really live. Whatever. I'm staring at this computer And it's giving me a headache In fact I could throw up if I hear another commercial Blaring out of our mindless TV And it's clear to me that I'd find life better spent Sitting on a log in the middle of nowhere With a wild apple tree ten feet away And a friend And I think I would learn more from life Doing nothing On a log In the middle of nowhere Than anyw

To Be at the Bottom

-:written November 2000:- I said I was going to fly Because my dreams soared too far for me to hold them back And they've soared But I've never flown But rather walked up the mountain To reach the sky To launch myself over the top Into the blue Cloudless Horizon Where maybe I could catch Those dreams I lost sight of But the mountain keeps growing And I keep walking Until I don't want to walk anymore And suddenly on this solitary night I realize that perhaps My dreams Have already landed And I am reaching for something I do not want And cannot bear And I'm tired of trying to be Farther than I am When it's not my tim

And I Know Nothing... by miquluva-coia, literature

Literature

And I Know Nothing...

-:written July 2001:- I've breathed 18 years on this earth and I still know nothing I learn and I grow every night when I'm alone with my empty pages and pencil and a cheap desk lamp covered in a tattered old safari comforter but always in the company of a million thoughts Oh I am learning, learning how this existence works Learning about the nervous nature of this creature called hope How it readjusts its feathers unceasingly How it always wants to fly With or without me Learning how to call it to me Softly, honestly, carefully So that when it must fly it will always return to me And oh heaven thank you for such small revelati

a drop in the ocean

i'm giving a hundred and seventy-five dollars. one dollar for every thousand people who have died. on my budget, that is alot. but in the face of it all, it's just insulting. how can you give enough to make up for a life? how can you think about giving enough for a hundred thousand lives? if we sold everything in the world, we couldn't buy one person back. we couldn't hold onto them. they would still have been sucked away in the beautiful bluewhite terror, the bodies of death, children and cats, furniture and cars, diamonds and manure floating past, ignorant of our joy, stoic in the face of our fear. i'm giving a hundred and s

Passing

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last was active on this account.  Journal entry October 2004?  Seriously?  Time played a trick on me.... or I played a trick on it.  Who knows which. A few things have changed.

Among the older, wiser, wittier seniors

0 min read

October finds me in poetry class,...the first writing class I've ever taken.  It's non-credit and the youngest  person in the class besides myself is 30 years older than me.  The class is made up of retired journalists, editors and professors, along with some talented hobby writers. I'm really enjoying it!  I can't believe the command of language this class has.  I'm laid back into my seat over and over.  I'm sufficiently humbled every week ;) It is a pleasure to be in the company of those that have had so many more years than I.  Their views of the world are quite different.  They are mostly more at peace and light hearted.  Such charming

Refining the Shore

0 min read

Sweet simple surges Of tides that know the meaning of patience. Of sands that know, All the secrets found In the gentle touch And torrential pounding Of a chorus of waves Thundering deep and whispering light... Refining the shore To a softer kiss of land and sea.
