From Anchorage to Zebulon: In Search of Missed Connections
Fireflies
aspire to spiral
time is of the non-essence
gene sequence circular breathing
star fire passes
swamp gas ignites
elegant in purpose
but aren’t we all
perfect
yes
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet
yes
perfect we aren’t
all but elegant in purpose
gas ignites
swamp fire
star passes circular breathing sequence
the gene of non-essence
time is to spiral
aspire
surrogation
electrical stream of faux experience
wired into thumb eye coordination
jacked into the matrix of un-life
as your brief moments pass
away
illusion of relevancy
devoid of legacy
empty of purpose
waiting to die
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet

events mapped logged
weighed yes measured
from the starting line
fast slow twitch
predictable muscles
hit the mark
on schedule like a nazi train
watch-wait i do
curious impersonal
being
in the still point of
love no matter what

Voided
a poem, of sorts, at
cross purposes with
split personalities
split second timing
split second too late
at last it only takes one drop
before surface tension
erupts into chaos
what happened before now is never
what happens next is also never
every never is now
every never is forever
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet
a poem
at cross split personalities
timing split
late at only takes
forever is
now is never also
happens what
now before chaos into
surface before
a poem at cross
Continuity
sinuous movement
snaking through my own life
stretched out beyond the edges of the bare slice
we call the moment
tail in the past
consuming the future
if i have scales do they not
iridesce even when i am invisible
(they do)
this morning poem, children
is only about living
spirals springs circles
cyclical regeneration
time is the heat spark where never meets forever
creative energetic radiation
the more i love the more
the more i love
the more i dissect meaning
the less “i” exist
simply
granted conscious glimpses
behind the illusion that requires
rhythmic participation
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet
sinuous snaking stretched slice scales spirals springs spark simply
more more more more
less
