Ten Atmospheres

Fast and loose
Close to the heart

Mysterious
Leads with her chin

Deep
Ten atmospheres

The funny man
Stoic I am 

Competitive
Why

Irreverent 
Yes but no

Cool as can be
Desperately so

Perseverant
Grow old with me

Somewhere Alone

There in the square
Guide my mind
Tell 
The rapid that came
How quickly it left 
How it took all from your bones

With dark in your eyes
Stop my heart
Tell 
Me alone 
The Hollow you felt
The Spike of what heightened your cry 

Your voice now evened 
Quench my thirst
Tell 
What fell
And its path
And all the else too, you let fall

Settler’s Call

How has the ivory tower 
Set itself up there on high
Beyond the plains
Above the mount’
Out of the reach of the sky

When will a true breath be breathed
Brimming with sanity’s sake
Down here on earth
Walking the line
Needing none magic nor quake
