glimpses of sanity

glimpses of sanity

through a night and a day
the earthship thunders on,
tides turning like corkscrews,
glaciers twisting and grinding
massive forces gently tapping

was that the door again?
some dark and noble being
offering salvation or cheap energy
seeking .... donations
offering .... enlightenment
to the latest cause

continents, which come together
in a glorious techni-color
of quakes and eruptions
and still the earthship forges on
single-mindedly

why on earth is gilligans island on t.v

as if on a preset target
glad I bought that blue shirt
an enormous pinball machine
spilled wine on the other
she took it off me and breathed in
set in motion with the inevitability
a smile on her lips
of random chaos
tracing a nail
amongst the ravages of nature
performing a dance
around the stars
of another world
in the right place
at one
happy to see glimpses of sanity
simply to be

the feel of a woman
when she is pregnant
and big with child
soft and wet and hot
and more defined
more tantalising
more inviting
simply more
