Skunk Ape

Skunk ape rising
Up into the trees
Waiting, hiding
In a palace made of leaves
Always knowing, never showing
Rarely to be seen, seen
Her stink, her steps
All we know of
This creature’s being
She’ll never be found
She doesn’t think she wants to be
But we know she’s there
Hiding, fighting
This urge to be discovered
Leaving clues beneath the bashed roots
At her feet
Mysteries, passed down stories
The tale of her long journey
All she cares to tell
Before solitary retreat
Now the skunk ape
Stalks the psyche,
Taunts the lonely,
The misguided,
In her waters
Shallow and hungry
A feeding frenzy,
Muddy, lithe, and
Drowning curious insight
The monster slithers
Inside you and me

Return to Detritus

My journey has ended asunder
By water’s pure refrain
The sun hangs, beckoning sweetly
But I’m torn, stuck in between
The worms wait, starving and humble
A mound built for me to lay
An unending blue above me
At the end of my final day
When my weary legs defy, I will kneel screaming,
“I do deny the sky,” the river’s edge yearning, pleading
Angry clouds spit upon me
Shadowed depths growing
The storm sprouts longing fingers
The earth reaches for me
“This choice is mine to bear,” the heavens retreating
“I do belong down here, beneath myself,” the soil breeding
Now the cypress blocks all light
And I claim this ruin as mine
The cycle onward goes
Now I’m basking in the lows
Float
Sink
Feel
Nothing
The cradle teeters
And falls into the flood
What could have been is right now
And now I am everything
