Come again? (Hi-Q/Haiku)

You know noise is more

(sound disturbance wave signal)

than you need to know?

(forever) Haiku

particle & wave
Light like Love; impossible
to keep-in one place...

Scapeland

Limited by a point
in view
doesn't mean there are no
obvious clues sticking out.
We have a nose
for things
that reek
and ears to hear
when something rings true.

The horizon made crisp
by Januarys cold shoulder
brittle colors crack
under depth perception
all is in arcs
electrically
carried through thick-
space, this line is drawn
between the backdrop mountains
painted over the sky-aglow
colors like no others
demonstrating distance
with tonality.
-hummmmm-

Light blurred into white
sights set on time-lapse
of the tidal motion
we may be slow to know
the ripple can re-ripple
reacting unpredictable
but then, this happens
when we don't wave back.

Tide & True

The ebb and flow of tricky desire

peaking on crests

crashing loud and rolling calm

the horizon line wearies the eyes

taking in forever

a panoramic view

a scene in a moment with you.

Trudging against rocky seas

tip-toeing on the glassy surface

touching the liquid mirror

and licking the salt

of savory endings.

What does a wave want

more than release?

To rise and become more

than itself.

A glimpse of glistening face

in a marine metropolis

under the melting sky

gathering all the glow

and casting it back

in a reflection of the

whole whirled.

Diluted Theories

It began with a wave

the First

to lap its raspy tongue on the shore.

The wave was a force.

Invisible dynamic energy.

The wave carried fields and lengths of Time.

Duration plus location,

across distances of open

impetus

or seize to be

and cease to be

settled at any place on the horizon.

Re-conceptualized as

the First notion

that there was more than 

the ocean can explain

than can Be

contained in a grain of sand

just like all the rest

folded back in

to tide and time.

Lost to see…
