Peace is ambiguous

Six self-conscious referents
Vying for employed escape
From the emerging summer damp.
Diatribe graduates rant,
Peace is ambiguous.

Why should I last without you all?
Not seize up in an icy tunnel
Of withering dust,
Forsworn destinations.
Peace is ambiguous.

Cursory inclusion begets
Abandoned plans.
Your rotted parts meet heavy lips,
I only have to make you happy.
Peace is ambiguous.

Cause and Effect

Present at the first dawn of madness,
I sat, wide open and alone,
Watching the epiphanies flood faster,
Caressing erosion, alternate happenstance.
Thinking made it so,
Suddenly, after years of wondering.
Thinking made it so. And why not?
Inside, all answers are unbidden,
And questions askew from description.
Constant longing.
So make it so.
And forge from words those thoughts
Into the crisp, cawing dawn,
Shaking the firs and furniture of logic,
Cause and effect.

Elegy

Starring in all directions:
Platform to post;
You never see
What’s inside you,
The ghost erected in honour,
As if glories were just
Passing and time
Its elegy.
