Two Poems

- Joseph Robertson -

'a broken spirit
falls faceward
in awareness
seeking pause'

i see you
moving filaments
of night
from the shore

'falls faceward
in awareness
seeking pause
a broken spirit'

this becoming
frayed becomes
audible attesting
to grandure

'in awareness
seeking pause
a broken spirit
falls faceward'

in a breath
of beauties
belabored your
words invent me

'seeking pause
a broken spirit
falls faceward
in awareness'

an opportunity
to see &
have visions &
be seen being

OVERTHROWN

feeling holy
slipping peregrine(paced)
through glass corridors

these many transient weights
unexcusable hints of circumstance
become regret(table)

i move within the mimic
drama of becoming
embarrassed (holy) overthrown

by these weights
by this need for lightness
for clean (unfettered)

transport of the will to
assist in the innards of
the wait

the urgent
(emergent) barricaded
coming-to-be

of fact(icity)
of irreversibility
of feeling
