(Banjo type) They mined the ore from mountains high, they dredged the deepest seam,They fed the hungry furnaces that roared like some dark dream.The coal was ground to ashes, and the oil to choking flame,Each joule of heat was counted not as gift, but as a claim. The smelters sang like thunderclouds, the wires hummed… Continue reading The Ballad of Smoke and Resonance
Axiom — The Chair that wasn’t here
The truth came by this morning.It sat down, politely, on a chairof it's own design. We asked if it was correct.It said, “Not especially.”Then it lit a cigarette made of questionsand exhaled a diagram.

But nestled in that stony heart,A fleck of gold may… Continue reading All that glitters

Homage to Marin
The Arsenal They built cannonto defend the orchard.The apples fell in fall They built fleetsto guard the coastline.While the sea rose They built drones to watch the sky The sun,unimpressed,kept warming. They built a carbon budgetfrom human lives and a few medalsfor surviving They built a futurewith only enemies.Then wonderedwhy the kids were rioting
