Pollox

I weave webbed staffs of consonance
Cuando Cross blossom continents
And his thoughts fall like words
Birds, geese, swallows follow
His eminence
The intelligent, telling it with consonants geminant
Geminize, divide, allies assign, socket, set sight to gem in eyes.
Gem in it innately innovate and innervate with embellishment

Pollox frolics as bellicose Dalek summon compelling trolls
Doll legs drumming from hellish holes, don't bother selling those buzzers
now, you're stellar but even stars fall from the Uppers
Rolling on rubber, rudder of blubber and flubber

As I mollify, thinking I could see it all if I
turned common crimes to knotted ties
dotted eyes, crosswards tees
Slotted sitting cross from me
The wattage tottered odd'ly
Bottled lightning, throttling
As copper wires rattle, straddled pins of cotter clink


Twin charges burrow borrowed electrons
Errant knights and errored nights
My mind mired in mirrored flight
that pallid sallow willow wisp eerie light
Rolled like casters,
Shadows as immobile as moss
Filling trillions of thoughts
Troughs, crest falling, rolling tides
Valhalla coughed, rolling thunder cried
As the gem did shine, through his swollen shut third eye

Alexandria

To all the ships that sailed past
with undropped anchor and unfurled masts
I harbor no resentment,
Left out of listed ports of mention
to where you went and made your mooring
What's done is done, I think I’ll call it mourning
As the captain's cabin door swings
Era, shut but let us not forget more things
Alexandria began poring over sword swings
Tears pouring as ropes free from mast halves and half knots,
No warning from lighthouse, she has not
She sighed wary, sans library, I rarely
find solace in fine ferry, vicariously I bury
my mind's expanse in the starboard starburst

Harbor waters have far from garnered praise
Lateen sails acutely angled away in autumn haze
Common days were those when once I beamed at trireme
I seen as a gem, Iris sapphire-ish
Lighthouse never dim then, papyrus, enlightened and brightened
Yes, mind free to fly like an Ibis
as it flanks banks and gives thanks to aqueous kindness

Even through the glorious revolutions of steamworks
Artificial light teeming, true enlightenment meager
Once gleaming with teamwork, like canoptic vessels
images of Egypt's Golden Age resonate reverb
entrance optic trestles, from past to present
Waxing nostalgic, I, Alexandria, harbor no resentment
