the totality is
by Tanner Brockwell

the totality is
subsumed
in the whole
and compassed round
and round and round
corners met rising
to the slopping canopy
billowing in the wind
moves in and out
moves as a ruffle
the grace of all
rolling like gentle
winds across
the face of the hills
caught in the fancy
mere imagery
the fantastic show
dancing across
your eyes resting
the flickering flame
puffs and wicks
caught in a gust
winds that blew and blew
arriving from far
continuing on again
a journey in that vastness

the smell is acrid in the air of burning leaves
by Tanner Brockwell

the smell is acrid in the air of burning leaves
what stillness is of motion is the swirl
of the smoke
devils in the detail the strident trace
of veins latice like life laid bare
ghosts of sweet summer
whisper in the air
the lullaby of long
a slumber before the dawn
dew raised as cold fingers
coats tight gripped with the frost
through the night
sleep as you may against the cold
for wishes dear in warm arms hold
and let your wandering
return at peace
to find the warmth of hearth
where murmurs catch and greet
tide you an evening

before the storm
by Tanner Brockwell

before the storm
aroused rolling the dark
clouds bursting illuminate
flash that fields of view
touches the horizon
and darker the torrents
flowing the walk and streets
splashed and dashed
caught out in the cool
damp air swirling
drops cascade
fountains pumping merrily
as the sky opens wide
and pours out the effluence
on a wish of sanctuary
friends fled for warmth
from the coldest north
not the plains pounded hoofs
but lumbering stalked
alpine ridges majesty
elements change in cosmic
cycles torrents to dust
and dust into fiery bounds
disappearing in the air

spring brings the sun
by Tanner Brockwell

spring brings the sun
come now as soft petals lay
in the swirling grass
brushed by a moving breeze
violets velvety dark absorbance
shudder in the warming rays
and wake in the daze
of afternoon slumber
stirred for clinking
the slender silver spoon
twirling the minty julep
crushed aroma rising
from the veins of chill
refreshment idling
sipped cool upon the lips
