Shimmying Notes on Astral Undercurrents

Below you'll see some of my latest story excerpts & poems. ATLANTIS was typed out early this morning, and because its her birthday today, I dedicate it to my dear friend Melissa Wright. Mirrordrowning was conceived and executed by fingertips across the face of a plastic keyboard not that long ago really, springing forth from my rapidly calculating mind. The history of legend just went up in April. Halo of Stones went up an incremental segment of time before that. Below that one, more random writings of mine. Keep scrolling. Welcome to a remote corner of my Blogdom of Thorns.

Have you ever felt as if you have been placed alongside a row of copies? That you are just a navel gazing reflection?
Try not to get the feeling that you as a duplicate yourself are not the right selection. That sensation is just a misdirection. It's okay; turns out there is no right and wrong after all. That's the basis of our rational anthem. Feel free to fall in and stay, or explore the various hidden hyperlinks you may stumble upon throughout this cyber-vicinity. Then begone upon your wildest trip. Don't let the mouse clicks you left behind allow you to slip.

Light

by Shaun Lawton


The tangential is an ideal device 
for circumscribing the known 
universe, because to draw a 
circle, one may begin at any 
point.  In the case of our 
cosmos, we may end up 
with something which 
more resembles a 
cross webbed crown
but the principle remains 
the same, a spiraling of circles 
in perpetuity spirographically 
carving out a heliodimensional 
gyroscopic area through which 
it passes leaving behind the trace 
dying embers of its astral ghost 
(to linger longer for us to look at
because when we step outside 
at night and stare out at the stars
we are gazing directly at death).
