The exhilaration of
Being carried off on a
Runaway horse
Grasping at whipping reigns
Slipping from desperate hands
Furtively imagining my
last best course
searching the landscape for the
softest eventual landing pad
~~~
Saving scraps of scraps
of dissected poems
Pinned together
With pigeon feathers
Until I can sew the
Perfect wedding dress
a patchwork sonnet
turned to gold
~~~
Perfect words
Fill glass candy jars
lining shelves, stacking my walls
To renew my sagging spirit
I pop a few letters back
Sweet and tangy
Today deserves two bits
~~~
My precious muse
I treasure you
Every scrap, every taste
I long to utilize
To the full

Harmonian Isle
The ancient tower known to the people of Xeocun as Harmonian Island is identical to others found all across Fractallus. The towers form a matrix of sorts, invisible waves of cyber connectivity meet and form a web of connections that envelop the planet in a remotely accessible field of electronic information and power for those with the equipment to access it.
