i once saw the face of god in the stars
which grinned as it opened its mouth wide
and its dust cloaked the earth
and its light drummed upon the ground
as it strummed the weary lyre
in its hands.

diaspora
there is a crack in the eye of man
like glass, the light in the fracture
is split like the millions who came before it
never to reform

time heals
its tongue flicks at me.
out of the puddle of saliva rolls a pearl.
it dissolves.
what does it want from me?
it slithers away, back to its damp home.

The Tower
In the midst of a city,
a tower stands,
its size beyond all comprehension,
and all round it,
there is a great spiral staircase,
swarmed with people all trying to reach the top,
which no one has.
