The Power of Dirt

by  shaun lawton 


One definition of knowing 
 could be settled for a rationale 
Just a cursory demarcation 
of a rendering into twice told tales
the individuation or formality 
forever the annotation you get the drift 


The setting for a reason 
 a soundness of understanding 
To the edge of the terminus
for clarity to a definition
taking shape before all struck eyes
like a sliced off cross section of fruit

Don't let it bewilder or concern you
 with portents of unforeseen wonder
Luring the witchery into a trance
to contemplate inside one's castle built
the pipe dreams of the chimerical muse
the craft of a life's work hung in the balance

Pursuing the inquest to follow the legwork 
 leading to question and reason it out 
A matter of deliberate consolidation 
melding into a coalition of alliance 
by association with the syndicate
all aboard with the trusted crew

An inconspicuous murmuring 
 through the members of the clade
But the moon was very full and bright 
a turn of strange events had led to the ones 
that already had it made forced to turn around
headed back in the direction which they had come
