Elemental Rift 2: Today I Left my Earth to Fate.

I am drifting,
in nothingness.
All I see are fireglobes;
one that I've left behind,
shattered,
one tomorrow, I'm channelled toward.
It is decided now,
every fragment, everything I find,
and everything I don't,
determined this motion.

Like blossom that has poisoned its tree,
floating serenely, gracefully,
down.
Towards the earth that is no longer.
No longer than that blossom.
Subsumed by charcoal ash
I drift.

We Are Walking

We are walking in a wood. To our left I see paper in the process of dissolving in a pool of water. You are wearing a long, beautiful skirt, that I haven't seen you in before, which occasionally swishes against the clumps of newly fallen leaves. Above, the wind replies. Nearby, to our right, but out of sight, water burbles by, though the ground we walk on is gradientless. Birds chatter music all around, enjoyably consuming lingering summer insects. There are no further away sounds. We have walked like this for years, extensive explorers. Stronger. Interlinked. A twig snaps. You turn to me with a well-known, warm, calm smile. Let's keep going .

Elemental Rift 3: Whispering

Whispering no more, silent now. I am stifled and breathless. All time is creeping, to stand still. Prey is poised, absolute zero, I am, stuck and stapled shut. Everything is still, still, for now. In the void, there is no motion.  I am alone and lifeless. Determined cipher, now unknown. With lips sealed, shouting but unheard, I am straining against life, like a net scooped fish for the sea. Maybe a breeze, gently this way comes. I am waiting, breathless but calm, and not quite silent, but whispering.
