Previously Medea
Red
Transistor
Blue 
Mountain
Yellow her dope sun
Rising the morning

Rising morning, not the first
Light fresh form, the Spleen
Wings of the dove
Feet of the crow
Boiling the sap
Medium inside vein pulse
The synapse direction
Red Maple Leaf
Sweet tasting spread Indra’s
Jewels, upon waking
the ceiling fan shape
Holds holes like kiwi
seeds that way to truth
When the last set of
Thought forms were
Planted the soil
Used and left flakes
Beyond thirsty
But repellent
To the point
Of rebellion

In dissonance
Between the
Previous thought
Frame the fruition
Contextual and this
New ground
What seed now evolved
By what measure
A knotted line
A double silhouette
A candlestick crack
Overflowing throb
Past dark and light
That acorn taking root
In time in whose mouth
The phenomenon
No kiss
No kiss

Ghost lit rainbow
Brook’s greyed in rusty hat
He walks humdrum
Between roadway
lines white and timber
Umber melanin enthusiasm
His rising morning
