Poems/Not Poems

Another Life Blip

By Alan Clements

 
 

 

Another life blip resurrected to human status

Sensed endowed limbed organisms map out existence patterns on earth rock

Mental charges thrust life bubbles thru multi-strata emptiness

It’s asked . . . where are you going my friend

A baby quietly awakens

enchanted lovers dissolve

Burning ghats humble spectators

I look at you . . . . . . . . oh world

Ah . . . . . . . yes

It’s me I see
