From Vertical to the Vertigo stagger
tripping from the optical Illusion
Real 3-D, virtual reality
messing with my light head.

L’alchimiste

A bewitching dance
from beaker to flame
steady hands tame
the philosophers’ stone
turn lead to gold
as Hypatia foretold

Nephthys,
Lady of the House
Daughter of Nut & Geb,
spread your falcon wings
protect us as we descend into death
& ascend to rebirth.

---

Death’s web catches all
souls spider up the silk strands
spinnerets spitting

Filaments crisscross
the starry night catching ghosts
earth’s not theirs to roam

---

Trapped in a glass tube
sleep comes, carries her away
to another world

frightened colonist
an alien world awaits
the skill of your hands

---

true beauty is embracing your scars
washing away society’s filth
to reveal that inner fire
life’s woes could not extinguish
shine on

Unwind at a warm reception,
listen to the sweetest sound–
a young girl laughing.
