Parachute ​

​eclectic wings
spread like prop roots
of the banyan tree. 
each drop refracts memories,
and the eye grows light.
an inner cave 
opens
into a life-giving
parachute.

​Lost Again

​viscous dreams
hibiscus roots
swallow within.
voyage? 
a discovery?

lost and found,
then again lost!
nose spasms.

The Turbulence Within
​

​pigeonholes
closed.
the urge to pee
remains etched,
this page of life - illegible.
spirit whispers a '?'
lips stitched - words
flow with turbulence.
