“ Across “ ...

” Across “

Across
the bridge of reality
and genetic analysis
vigorously attacked
chased and harassed
finally forming a lasting pair
having permeated grief and sadness
post abandonment
and the missing of companions
listening feeling
empty as grief itself
left holding the gardener’s scythe
with an inkling that something
wasn’t quite right twitching
like a broken power line
hips rising slightly
impulse and prey aligned
framed with ivory
life-and-death excorcised
by deciphering
tiger signs being derived
like serpentine plotlines
via deeply incised
cross-crossed satellites
hunting eyes alighting
spirits becoming misaligned
uninviting
still weighing on a heavy mind
while running a trapline...
