How I long to dance
In the swirling grass seas
Swaying and revolving
The breeze, my perfect partner
Catching me up like a dandelion seed
In my dreams, I swim
Through a field of coral flowers
Picking out a perfect clearing
For a lie down in the rippling caustics
Covered in the fantastic changing light patterns
Drawn up the canyon
In a thundering cloud
Like lightning, touching down on tiptoe
Alighting on powerful rustling backs
Diving off the cliff at the head of the pack
A perilous climb for fingers and driven line
Like squats in midair
Keep standing and you will appear
Face emerging in the swirling cloud mass
Rolling over the apex, coated in dust and sweat
Will I ever climb the stairs to heaven?
Roaring silence
Overtakes the jungle inhabitants
Every step larger than the last
Leaping through the gate

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Each stanza feels like stepping into a dreamscape shaped by earth, wind, and wonder.
