Warman Church #23

By Michael Dagen on September 15, 2017

ants with warheads dream evermore deeply 
mind infection force fed to the sleepy

cycles of time wipe clean eras' great lies
an 80 year earth breath goes sigh, cough cough, sigh.

so what is the crop on this farm?
who is the farmer if we are the farmed?

I'll tell you this much, but you won't believe me
this place: a school for souls to hone feelings.

Living Will #16

By Michael Dagen on June 28, 2017

nothing could be better than dying together
as our love would continue to nourish under feet

you may desire to shed your body by fire
but please consider rotting with me

a white cedar could sprout over our bones,
growing sunward casting all shadows underneath

for twenty-four thousand years our children will hear
the ringing of bells through the trees.

over this time they will witness and guide
the plane’s transition from slavery to free

for as worms feed on dead flesh
there is a shadow devouring humanity

until we take heed of this possibility
we may never truly be free.

Merry Go Round #14

By Michael Dagen on May 27, 2017

Jenna Lee come with me to where the veil blurs
You see fear is a projection in the minds of humans.
 
The great mill forever grinding souls in the cosmic merry go round 
May we will ourselves free of the game, the ride, the earthen school.
 
For now is the time to pause, break away and create anew
Our bow to love and freedom has finally come dear one.

My Love ~ a Canyon #10

By Michael Dagen on March 18, 2017

last night I spied you
out
the corner of my eye
the image unclear
your predecessor still blurs my vision

I felt you
looking
at and through me

what did you see
what is left of me

our time
not yet
I could not look
this taste so fine
a food
for my lonely patience

my love ~ a canyon
just enough space
2 hold
your glorious emanation

The Cusp of What I Am #7

By Michael Dagen on January 2, 2017

 
 
 
I am the arctic wind on a moonlit winter's night
I am the warm summer breeze lakeside in the shade.

I am the shattering quake sent to bring you to your knees
I am the long smooth rock you lay across to soak up the sun

I am the funnel cloud nightmare from your childhood dreams come true
I am the lift in your kite that takes you to new heights

I am the cracked and blistered drought ridden valley floor
I am the moist fertile soil where seeds sprout and trees grow

I am the dust devil that blows up your skirt
I am the breath used to ignite fire from hot beds of coal

I am the catch for all sprayed poison on its way to rivers.
I am home for fungus and food for worms.

I am a rolling thunder soundtrack to your lovers' quarrel
I am the gust that frees milkweed seeds from their pods

I am molten lava violently released to build new mountains and islands
I am solid bedrock used to anchor skyscrapers

I am the place where you lay your graduated loved ones to rest
I am whispering prayers of thanks for this life.

Supernova of the Heart #6

By Michael Dagen on November 1, 2016

conquered and discarded.
thank you great teacher 
generations of volatile love patterns
now broken
a heart sacrificed for my ancestors and children
 
there are rules to dreams in this realm
even devils like us must obey
our love exists in a parallel fiction,
may we meet there someday.

To the Heart #5

By Michael Dagen on August 19, 2016

my love a rocket.

with no helmet or seat belt, I ignite.
coordinates —> the heart of your sun
like a moth in the dark, I risk all to be with your false light
like a fool on the run, I lift off no return in sight
just for a chance to soar through the heavens with love.

It Happens #1

By Michael Dagen on January 27, 2016

I live 

deserted

others here, but without you
this realm -> deserted

some days when I listen to the birds I know they tell you to shut up too

waiting for your ship landing followed by a knock at my door
what happens next devours all that ever existed

time has ended

waiting
