Across Miles — Cento 57 (Day 1344)

layered with haze   fallow fields   

subtle   gentle   ancient 

history   carved in sweet acacia

antennae gold with pollen

the mighty thrumming

of 10,000 powerful hearts

 

a sound like lingering 

day   like endless ocean

or poems without words

that may or may not 

return   across those waves  

a sunrise waits   

across miles of yes   floating 

at water’s edge   reluctant 

to encounter each rapacious gust 

urging   begin

Inferno (Day 1290)

back then   they replaced 

that deep blue jazz

with bland white skies 

such a downer  

someone said   too much   

reverb   alight with grace 

everyone knew this 

would never be 

an inferno of creation   but 

merely a fey marble beauty

cool   with occasional flares 

of brilliance   a pleasant day   

& now all they do is adore 

the history of that which 

they sent soaring on its own 

flaming wings
