strikes

a righteous storm ends.
strike, a pair...

it's good to be rooted.
free third, I want out...

the bell vibrates, no ring,
the end is here... so I wish...

wishes don't come true always,
this has to be done... the hard way.

statutory maya

Steered from within, I move. Apparent will.
I finish the task, perfect. Your will.

Dirt bore the diamond. You took it.
This donkey has had its day. Fresh etch.

Plant a tree, I beg. Throw a seed.
You prefer to weed. I know.

Be the pond, I pray. Stay here.
You bring up the fragrance. Catalyst drizzle.

Walking on butter, I slide. Upwind scream.
I see the other side. Pinnacle Maya.

Shower of arrows, I see. Eyes close.
I stay still, for now. Puffed smoke.
