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.

ATLANTIS

by  Shaun Lawton  




Beneath the sands of time      we rise at a glacial pace
  across an epochal span     in splendor to displace

The twisted roots of trees  with labyrinthine city states
 captured by degrees     in this sanguine, august space

 Our conariums affixed   to monitor our dreams 
  and regulate our sleep     with circadian slipstreams 

 In perfect synchronicity   with our planetary host
 more than serendipity     against a windblown seacoast 

  With chronometric coordination     and through each indrawn breath
  we suffer the realization in life   of our ecstatic slide towards death

   to sink below the desert dunes     at such an evanescent rate 
   and abandon our discarded masks  for the providence we must await
