If taken by some
Predatory bird

So?

Lizards grow-
Grow

Come, come-

Go, go-

My little

Snowflake
Mike Adam Feb 2018
Little crystal
From on high,
Atmospheric;

Icycling down
To ground and
Fluffing the land,

One yellow crocus
Brave above light
White.

Then to compact
Hard,
Thus to ice
Slipping unsuitable shoes

And slushing,
Dissolving

Feeding drains-

The miracle and metamorphoses of

Water

Once in a while

How close you approach,
Moon-

How blue
How blood red.

Within the love
Of living heart
(Pump pump pump)

How close-

How far far


Away

Dead people laying around,
Dead flowers

Dead end roads

And here am I

This soul has grown
Through all seasons,

Hanging from the

Windblown.

This heart has grown
Through all seasons
Of wild love and
Dead unnoticed man.

This soul will
Survive the end
Of every moment

To goodbye
The earth

You should be able
To be naked
All of the time.

No sense to this
Eternal cover-up

Give the fruit

Belong....
Mike Adam Jan 2018
To love the
Universe-
Dark and harsh

Is hard.

Beneath a
Permafrost of
Not belonging

Possible touch of
Mercurial heat
May welcome

Or burn.

Alone? Yes
Scared? Yes

Loving the
Inevitable extinction,
Principle of alien
Love

Merge
Mike Adam Jan 2018
Body melts
Glacial-

Disintegrates
Disgracefully.

Mind spins a
Vortex-

Chaos and order
Kiss beneath
An apple tree,
Bark ancient
As stone-

Weathered face

Sans eye
Sans tooth

And all the
Livelong day

A confusion

Self-centred
Is reversed
Because

Yes, I screamed
Mike Adam Dec 2017
Yes, I screamed
Between mothering thighs
Emerging into light,

Masked man wielding
Forceps.

Yes I screamed against
The coming of light and,

Ageing now in
Deepest night,
Yearning for the
Dying of all light-

Amniotic fluid

Of

The


Dark.

So old
Mike Adam Nov 2017
The old who,
In their youth were
Pride and beauty
In fateful combination-

Now stare in silent
Contemplation at the
Embers of a life unlived
And wonder how the
Years flowed making
Furrows of their skin

Time out of time
Mike Adam Nov 2017
With nothing to do
And nowhere to go

Stay put and
Suffer it through.

Walked 10,000 miles-

Not enough! Not enough!

No master
No disciple

Walk on
Walk on

So far come

So further to go-

Dancing
Mike Adam Nov 2017
Catch a flying arrow
In the teeth
Only

To spit out time.

Breathe in total space and
Blow out billion
Stars.

And this is what we call

Dancing with the
Heavens
