I.
under icy shade
  (ceiling forest,
day fragments melt
          )
    columns of bark
              holding
         up               walls
         from crumbling
[termitic fodder:
                  eating antsy
                                         ]
  juniper sap
                        I coalesce
  berryessence
                        suspension

II.
No one's request
I honor calmly   
With a narrative 
Of crawling         
              fragments.
They want a love story,
Refusing love's glorious arc
To bask in warvision,
Unable to perceive.
                  Since the world
                              revels in shallow darkness
  I give them flaws so cravèd.

III.

an element,

—another.                    

their intersection,

their essential unity.   

{centuries                   

of wandering,     

planetary paving.                      

grand vomiting cities,

passages of stone & ink}

vapid religions,      

spurious philosophies.

absurd tenets                         

held from a raveling rope       

(piñata                        

from the cumulonimbus   

palace           

)          

The world is               

a bold transparency

forgotten

by mankind.

Yes, they're oil paintings by James McCarthy, digitized. I just discovered him and thought the style went well with this poem. Thanks for the kind words and support @anishag!

This is sophisticated @d-pend, never seen anything like this, the poem structure and pattern, the painting and the titanic new vocabulary, is this a new pattern you just coined?

@d-pend | July 2, 2018, 5:59 a.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

Hey @josediccus! Just experimenting. Finally learned how to right align text properly, too. This piece was a bit scattered, convoluted, with a few bursts of clarity.

@taliakerch | July 1, 2018, 11:12 p.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

very complicated, very multilevel for understanding and capturing the idea, very deep and very mysterious
pure psychodelic poetry, powerful and magnifiscent.

@d-pend | July 2, 2018, 6 a.m. | Votes: 5 | [ VOTE ]

Thanks very much @taliakerch. I wanted to write something quite abstract, intuitive, with a few concrete symbols woven in, a bit of a puzzle. Really, it was an icebreaker to start writing more again after taking a bit of a break. :-D

In Russia we say: you can't lose your master skills even if you're overdrunk;))
It means, if you're a master, any time in any conditions you are a master;)

I know what you mean;) after a break it's really sometimes hard to do what we're used to, but just a pair of steps and brains start to work in a proper way;)

a puzzle! yeah, that is what your poems remind me;)

A tremendous piece of poetry divided into three parts, each with a different tone. The first gently undulates in a contemplation with a "shy opacity". The second prepares the way for the one who comes and advances that humanity has failed to give the true importance to sublime love, to the softness of images, to the power of love to heal, be and be in fullness; affirming that they are more distracted by the abject, the dark, although falsely manipulated to impact the human psyche in the knowledge that it likes to wallow in pain, sadness, wildness, tightness, low passions. Already, in the last part, overflows in that trumpeted about human taste and throws of images reveal disaster, chaos, stormy atmosphere:

> (piñata
from the cumulonimbus
palace)

Despotrinca against religions and false philosophies that keep man away from serenity and the appreciation of the transparency of being in communion with natural, healthy and uncomplicated life:

> The world is
a bold transparency
forgotten
for humanity

Excellent work, as always @ d-pend. I hug you!

...a bold transparency/forgotten by mankind.

Beautifully put. Such vanity to think we're alone in the universe.

I hear the fall of the modern day Roman Empire echoing in these pieces... in tones both outraged and wistful. Lovely as usual @d-pend.

The poem is interesting just like the painting, I have a question because the writing looks so messed up is a mistake to upload the publication?

@d-pend | July 2, 2018, 5:57 a.m. | Votes: 4 | [ VOTE ]

Glad you found it interesting. No mistake, it's meant to be that way :-) I like to use experimental formatting sometimes (usually when I write poems by hand on paper and later type them up to replicate it.)
