Lunar Meditations.

"to speak to the architect"

all things unfold for a reason--
a belief that i cannot endorse
it's a phrase people say
when they wish to allay
the griefs of a terrible season

an architect plans for a target
& you know when that target is met
but we tumble along
like a haphazard song
adding drawbridge & minaret

humans have sometimes a purpose
as the other harsh appetites churn
neither measured or sane
but a kind of terrain
besides the dirt one we learn

ah, were there an ultimate endpoint
or even less toxic recoil
to what doesn't work
i'd be happy to shirk
this lament; put shoulder to wheel

dream architect: nightmare the season
as sometimes the sixsideds land
though cause & effect
in their way must direct
there's nothing to understand

though cause & effect
in their way must direct
there's nothing to understand

The Architect.
