The Ballad of The Fates (EXCERPT)
Shout it loud across the fractures of time.
Our voices aligned
in three part harmony fall short.
Frayed voices gone hoarse
Free-falling into the fog,
Unfolding into the sea
Drowning in the colors of a million Pacific sunsets,
-The moon is in the wrong place.
I’ve never seen so many stars.
Exquisite corpses
embedded between eternity and the wildfires,
To be devastatingly extinguished
Or 3-2-1 blast-off, a hero’s escape?
Decentered and scattered-
Pieces of us turned clouds,
The Spinner, The Cutter, The Measurer.
The Fates.
Shout it loud across the fractures of time.
Our voices aligned
in three part harmony fall short.
Frayed voices gone hoarse
Free-falling into the fog,
Unfolding into the sea
Drowning in the colors of a million Pacific sunsets,
-The moon is in the wrong place.
I’ve never seen so many stars.
Exquisite corpses
embedded between eternity and the wildfires,
To be devastatingly extinguished
Or 3-2-1 blast-off, a hero’s escape?
Decentered and scattered-
Pieces of us turned clouds,
The Spinner, The Cutter, The Measurer.
The Fates.
