with resistance:
we exist to evolve to excess
territory cut into sediment
hellbender, old springs awaken in the cove
hellbender, embers smolder on the ridge
Divergence-Ascension
Switchbacks to Heaven
every slithering thing
a little more than kin

Forest of Arenburg
01:07

The triumph of conquest
Carving land into ley lines.
Ritual of purpose in pursuit
The hunt for subtler quarry.
Ancestral fields grow fallow with time
The salt of the earth, stinging wounds.
the lion rampant aloft, declaring:
All roads
are held together
with the remnants
of the dead
I will forsake the forest, falter. I will.

“Self indulge me”
This is not for you;
Not every hill is Ventoux.
“Attack. Validate your worth!”

We Run On Dynamite

I suppose
we'll sort this out
in the shadow of
much grander things
the lantern with no matches left
And miles to go before we rest
penance for such simple bliss
on a route to break the willful
(on, on, on)
"In short we run on dynamite"
It's the last sprint in the last light
far beyond the tree line,
Here lies a convict of the road
Les forçats de la route
(Just put me back on my fucking bike)

Contentious
I will defy this
The shades of the past
A parting of the veil
The silence is beckoning
I'll forfeit everything -
To leave here and never look back
Trading these trees for a forest
and a sky that sets darker than black
Scarcely breathing and softly dying,
the field mice quiver and quail:
Rat snake season's upon us
Rat snake season is here.

I've made
a very
grave mistake
suffuse the light with the living
bury yourself in the break
I’ve made a very grave mistake
(chance meeting you here at the end of all things)
existence //
A wellspring //
To one day cease upward
And water
The roots
Of every
living
thing
I refuse to die with air left in my lungs
I refuse to die like this

Monuments

mountains begin to rise in the distance
my heart swells to meet them.
The taste of blood in the back of your throat
(Please know this movement is not medicine)
Early warnings
I surrender
All of this I confess:
The present-
a temple-
left standing
Regardless
Of where the sun will set

In a dream of present time I've seen my garden overgrown
Monarda wild flourishing, deliberate rows of stones
Mark the tombs of withered roots, my absence their demise.
I've seen the age appear on faces
I've known only five years past,
Found the lapses growing longer in the beating of our hearts
Slowing to cicada’s calls that haunt the early dark
The weathered grey foundations
The graves in quiet hollows
Wayward aphid, tender leaves:
To err and love, an errant love
I will linger longer in the clearing in the woods
In the dim remembrance of every shallow grave I've dug.
The wood will rot/rejoice again
Shrouded by the veil of spring I hear:
Do not return until the seeds you've sown
Have found their own way through the earth

Fortitude is measured in defeat
All that I know is I'm moving forward
All that I know :
Like cycles,
Life echoes
KOM or die climbing.

In reverence we recreate
The paths to our own wild hearts
Whatever heaven promised
I'll make you forget.
This love as real and binding
As the tightness in your chest.
