Contours of Relief
All empires are doomed,
either by their own ambitions
or by those of another.
To Take Shelter Is To Give It
Like breath in the wind,
the disillusioned see not
the three gems within.

Mossy Turkey Tails
Canopy Shade
Vortex of Volition
Finger swirl,
temporal whirl
around center
not really there,
atop a vast
placid ocean.
Dance done,
dissipation,
the aggregates
of self,
into time’s motion
and a spatial sea
sublime.
