Nowness

Author: Bilal Hamid

Chaos stories.

Thrash smash anchors unbegotten.

Asgard; a pencil.

Form function purpose forgotten.

Tigertooths, limestone fires.

Oracles or elephants, memories mired.

Lambs came all hearts as holy.

Pan’s flute becoming

A permanence of possession

Ephemeral gypsy tigerchild.

Seeking more than fire.

Time is never

All eyes gleam

Faces afire.

Alone the strength is true and quiet,

Alone matters not that he seeks or dreams

and children and you breathe.

Talk word

Worlds of fools

The scientist, the inventor

know in word trails of trials.

If the Seeker finds the

mountain.

Alone.

He meets our sky.
