wild onion fractal

Friend Who Knocks At Night

the forest walks were re-creations 

         past life groups evolving 

master hue of the air an indication of god-time 

shouts of the redwoods as primeval incantations 

         “you the soul of intention” 

         crystal rip-rap explosion wake ups 

        ferns moved on their own accord 

and the echoes of ancestor shouted warnings rained down 

on us sweet Jesu gel low below 

the fungal functions of the ether flux 

young men battle on secret hills 

        totems and spleen function seized 

        creating the onions to be peeled 

raison d'être when you are tired 

from the endless walking 

or is the deflation of life force the realization 

that shifts in samsara bloom 

in gulps of ascetic culmination
