Mirrors and Trellises, Poetry Audio Blog

Mirrors and Trellises

Hello, café poets. There is another instalment of my poetry audio blog up where I talk a little philosophy and voice the poems Trellised Together, Slow Movings Vehicles in the Eternity Lane Only, and Trellis the Cosmos, which is also published below for your reading convenience.

Trellis the Cosmos

clicks and pauses
code and inference
from earth to sky
pattern shepherds chaos
from nonsense to meaning

foundation and base
erect geometric mirrors
among the cirrus
so we can see ourselves
transcend and enlighten

acrimony is muted
fear is rejected
tossed down, buried deep
to serve as naught
but fallen compost
detritus and worn ideas

expansion, growing together
grants meaning to an otherwise
meaningless babble

bound to each other
through understanding
consensus and compromise
the hive finds the way

all sides and perspectives
maintained and evolving
sustained and supported

build the pillars
arches and steppes
trellis the garden

throughout the cosmos
there will be nothing until we get there

Trellis the Cosmos is published Domesticate the Heavens.Slow Moving Vehicles is posted in Monsters, Avatars, and Angels. Trellised Together is published in Strays. Please visit my blog to further explore the accompanying photos and essay, some bonus poetry, and keep up-to-date with all my writing. 

Longer works can be found on the my amazon page.

Dear Pryde
Funny you should use the word “Cosmos”
When my husband asks what I am doing I say “Contemplating the Cosmos”! I think what are saying in this excellent poem is that some day there will be a wall/ trellis around the Cosmos, with meaningful conversation, understanding, compromise our thoughts and opinions, “ expansion and growing together” for without these , there will be nothing!
We must build together!
Great idea and writing!
