Time upon the wood

Streams of white and burnt embers, Drift and splutter wolfing within the wood and splinter split, smash and corrupting. Enter and exhaust the dripping flow of time etched upon boarded divides. Divide they do, But do they combine? The black fails not the ruby, Yet faint gold succeeds, To bring […]

Surrealist Poetry 1

I decided to open up a poetry section on this site to feature some of my poetry and writings. This lead me to do a google search for some surrealist poetry. I found these two collections of French surrealist poetry here and here. A short poem that grabbed me: ARP […]

into walls of crimson aural shimmers gliding soon, when, where how amidst glowering few yews yearling Well in thy Moon. Yell, scream, pound. Pound.
