Down the Vine

Down-the-Vine

Through the forest fire smoke

I breathe a breath

A sinful toke

For a wish

That’s guarded as papal sure-sin-fire smoke

 

A look around the square

None a brother appear 

Caught between Inferno flames and 2 week old hair cut lames

All Mother’s insist we aren’t mutt’s

 

But what’s the use in being tangled up 

Tension here

Tension there

What’s the use in consciousness

Suspensed

To come back again

HERE 


It’s a gift

An empty bottle a-drift

A secret note

A sign

A start of a conversation

A Fold in Time

 

To Heaven I bow

To all Saints I sing

I Loudly

Dis-allow


Forever you must be Sunshine

Forever you must be a Sun

Your poem pulses with a raw,

Your poem pulses with a raw, searching energ, like a breath taken in the midst of fire and uncertainty, yet carrying the weight of something profoundly sacred.

The tension, the questions, the dissonance between existence and transcendence —they all weave together into a rhythm that feels both urgent and timeless.

And that final call, the demand for light and warmth, resonates deeply. It is a piece that certainly invites reflection, that challenges perception, and that stands defiantly against the chaos. Thank you for sharing this. Your voice is unflinching, and your words linger.
