DNA  GESTATION

wondering where are the Lapitas

somehow preempting

obsidian snowflakes that retell

sparsely inhabiting my veins.

is it like Da Vinci's code

inscribed in every soul?

or DNA of the uncertain,

now i am  thinking...

is it within me living?

am i like a pottery image of enfeeblement

or history bubbles fade in the air

where no dreams unremembered?

SONGS OF BE-INGNESS

you are a saudade

for a breathing BE-ingness

you are  an aubade

to the rigmaroles reverberating

in one's odyssey, beyond existence.

that kindred spirit in us will always be

a kiss of metamorphosis,

an influential specter of iridescence,

and a reminder of becoming the best

the great ones amidst variegation.

DIASPORA

i can see you in my homeland

from the waterfalls of darkness

that become birthing gemstones

amidst paralysis.

i am designed by great ancestors

through the rhythm

of chaotic harmony

that become yielding bricks

and paradigms of evolution.

i can taste the ethnicities

in the wars capes and seascapes

of grassroots,

that become crowns of the pacific ocean,

and wombs of un-dismantled exodus.
