Two Poems

 

by Julie Waugh

 

 

 

 

historicisms

 

research yearning sardonically

portable footsteps beating the brooding sands

patterns discursing, populating plots of time

clotted chaos awaiting the microscope

pauses reaching star-like, tremulous

projections coverting seasons

embedded with hope and splintered reasoning

props justifying entombment

 

 

 

 

sojourning

 

at every corner

chance and the burden of choice

shall we abandon our destiny?

shall we swirl among clouds

willing the wind’s imagination

act without hope

or thrust our disembodied perceptions

into beliefs personified otherwise

hereditary governance

auctioned
